Due to the COVID19 virus, Fashion138 Fashion Workplace & Career Essentials will be taught completely online on Canvas with Zoom face-to-face meetings. Class meetings are from 1:10 pm- 4:00 pm. You will be expected to log onto Canvas at least once weekly. It is required that you have frequent access to an internet-connected computer to successfully navigate this course. There will be weekly assignments with deadlines. You will be required to download any supplemental handouts, upload assignments, read websites pertaining to class materials, share your cultural experiences, and adhere to assignment due dates.
Regular class attendance is expected and strongly encouraged. Please make plans to attend every Face-to-Face Zoom Meeting and arrive on time and ready to give your full attention to every session.
Students who fail to attend the first two weeks of classes will be dropped from the class. It is strongly advised that if you need to miss more than one class/homework deadline in a row that you communicate via email to avoid being dropped from the class.
All assignments need to be completed by their due dates. Attendance at class meetings is mandatory. When engagement in the work assigned is evidenced, but more time is required for the processing of information and successful completion of a project, late work will be accepted without a penalty up to one week after the original due date. Assignments turned in later than one week will be marked lower.
If taking Pass/No Pass you need at least 70% or a grade of C to pass the class.
An “F” grade indicates that a student attended, participated, and completed the course but failed to master the course curriculum.
An “FW” grade indicates the student stopped attending a course after the “last day to withdraw” deadline and subsequently did not submit any work or participate in any exams. Please check with your counselor and financial aid advisor for possible implications of the FW grade on residency and financial aid status.
Grading Scale: A=90-100%; B=80-89%; C=70-79%; D=60-69%; F=<60%.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING WITHDRAWALS:
Our goal is for all of our students to complete their classes successfully. However, please be aware that there are new restrictions at the state level in allowing repeat attempts to take a course, regardless of the grade received from a course. There is no longer general repeatability, and there are limitations on the number of attempts a student may make to take the course for a passing grade. "W," "D," or "F," grade entries on the transcript all count as attempts to take a course. If a student fails or withdraws from a course, a student may have up to two more opportunities to take the course for a passing grade, but will not be allowed again if they fail or withdraw at his/her third attempt even if the student has not exhausted all four attempts. Therefore, if you feel that you will not be able to commit to a course of a given semester, it is best to communicate with your instructor early and drop the course before a "W" (withdrawal) may be recorded for the semester. International students should be aware that they need a minimum of 12 academic units throughout any given semester to maintain their student visas. Therefore, withdrawing from a class and the subsequent loss of units may result in the loss of a student visa to the United States.
Students who register in CCSF classes are required to abide by the CCSF Student Code of Conduct. Violation of the code is the basis for referral to the Student Conduct Coordinator or dismissal from class or from the College. See the Office of Student Affairs and Wellness.
Collaborating on or copying tests or homework in whole or in part will be considered an act of academic dishonesty and result in a grade of 0 for that test or assignment. I encourage students to share information and ideas, but not their work. See these links on Plagiarism: Encourage Academic Integrity and Prevent Plagiarism Citing Information Sources
Accommodations
Students with disabilities who need academic accommodations should request them from the Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSPS) via email at DSPSacom@ccsf.edu or leave a message on their normal business line (415. 452.5481). They also have a fax number (415.561.1040), that the staff can access remotely. As it stands right now, there will be no in-person services at their offices until further notice on when students can return to campus.
