Student Expectations
Attendance
All Nash Community College instructors are required to take attendance in all classes. Failure to abide by the attendance policy will result in an administrative withdrawal from class. Unlike high school classes, attendance in college is mandatory in order to remain on the roster. This means students are withdrawn from class when in violation of the NCC Attendance Policy. Failure to abide by the attendance policy can result in being withdrawn from the course and could thus have negative implications on future career and college planning.
Face-to-Face Classes: Students must be physically present at least once within the first 10% of the course in order to remain in the class. After the 10% point, students are required to attend class and submit assignments by the assigned due dates.
Online and Virtual Classes: Students must submit the Enrollment Verification Activity (EVA) on or before the 10% point of the online class. After the 10% point, students are required to submit assignments by the assigned due dates or work in Moodle. Online and virtual classes require discussion board or forum participation. Simply logging into Moodle or an approved third-party software does not count as attendance.
Withdrawals
Making the decision to enroll in CCP is a huge commitment. Colleges do not look favorably on withdrawals and students should be willing to commit the necessary time to each scheduled class. To withdraw from a class for a reason other than attendance, students must receive approval from the high school counselor before contacting the career coach. The high school counselor will assign students to another class at the high school. If students are withdrawn from class, a “W” is placed on the college transcript and a “WF” is placed on the high school transcript. Students may be prohibited from taking future CCP courses depending on the circumstances of the withdrawal.
