Attendance Policy: As an active member of this class, your attendance is vital. You need to be responsible for logging in several times per week to check on your progress in the class as well as finishing the required material by their due dates. Your weekly attendance is based on the completion of quizzes and other assignments indicated in the course room and in the schedule.The Federal Government has established a guideline to determine attendance for online students.
“Attendance must be measured by an assignment to be graded, quiz (test), or SCORM EVERY week. Forums will not be accepted as graded assignments for Title IV purposes. Assignments turned in offline or through e-mail cannot be accepted for Title IV purposes.”
Therefore, your attendance will be based on fully completing all graded assignments, quizzes, or tests for that week. If not completed and submitted before 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on Sunday each week, you will be counted absent for that week.
You are expected to check your HJC email several times a week to ensure you are receiving feedback from your instructor in time.
Make-up Policy: Late quizzes, discussions, and projects are NOT accepted except for excused absences. You must communicate with the instructor regarding your situation, the instructor reserves the right to determine if an excused absence is granted for the situation.
Incomplete Policy: Incomplete Grades Incompletes are given when a student has to miss the final or has an outstanding assignment. The incomplete should only be given if the student is passing the class or would be able to pass the class with the completion of the missing exam/assignment. If the student does not contact the instructor about the missing assignment/exam, the instructor should award an incomplete if the student was actively attending until the end of class and the instructor has a reasonable belief that the student intends to make up. Online students who do not complete the proctored assignment but have completed all other assignments may be awarded an incomplete, allowing them to finish the required proctored assignment. If an incomplete is awarded, the student will have until the end of the next term to complete the missing work. Students receiving an incomplete should make arrangements with the instructor to complete the outstanding work as soon as possible. Should an incomplete remain unchanged past the following quarter, it will automatically change to a failing grade.

Academic Honesty Policy
The college has a firm policy against academic dishonesty, including cheating or plagiarism. Students guilty of academic dishonesty will be administratively dropped from the course with a grade of ‘F’ and subject to disciplinary action, which may include suspension and dismissal.
Please refer to the Academic Honesty Policy for detailed information.
Late Assignment Policy
Meeting deadlines, being dependable, and applying appropriate time management are all foundational elements of professional behavior. These same attributes are also required while participating in college courses because the skills, knowledge, and student learning outcomes must be obtained in a specific order and within a certain amount of time.
We at HJC understand that sometimes students encounter circumstances that make it difficult to always meet the required course deadlines. This Late Work Policy is in place to accommodate that. In all circumstances, whenever possible, contact your instructor when you anticipate that you will be submitting work late.
The deadlines for most courses typically follow the pattern below, but it is your responsibility to confirm this and be aware if there are any assignments that may have different deadlines for one reason or another.
The first post in each Discussion Board is usually due on the Wednesday night of each module/week.
Most other assignments are due by 11:59 pm on Sunday evening of each module/week.
- All assignments must be submitted by the required due date.
- Missing assignments due to absence must be submitted within 1 week of return.
- Late submissions of assignments will result in a reduction of 10% of the total points possible per day (e.g., 1 day late = -10%, 2 days late = 20%, etc.) up to one week. Anything over 1 week late will result in a grade of 0.
- To receive full credit for late work, students must provide documentation for an excused absence, or it will be subject to the same treatment as any other late work. Documentation examples include court documents, hospitalization, etc.
Instructors may also choose to deduct less points at their discretion.
If for some reason a student temporarily loses the ability to connect to Canvas due to technical issues it is the student’s obligation to submit assignments by the original due dates. Temporary remedies can be connecting via a public WiFi spot, using school facilities to connect, or use of private networks through friends and family.
In extreme cases, when none of these solutions are available, the student may contact their instructors through other means and ask permission to submit their work directly, in a method that can be received by the instructor. Under no circumstances can methods of delivery outside of Canvas be used without explicit instructor permission. (If this ever happens the instructor should somehow note it).
