Student Resources (as applicable)

Library services: Library services are available at the Prescott Campus and the VerdeValley Campus libraries. Both libraries are members of a countywide

library network, which provides access to a wide-range of informationand resources at libraries throughout Yavapai County. Possession of a

College library card entitles students to access materials housed atmember libraries. Instructors may place required course materials on

reserve in the library or make assignments that require the use of library

resources.

Learning Centers: A Learning Center is available on the Prescott and Verde Valley

Campuses. These centers provide a variety of learning support forstudents including tutoring, adaptive computer and equipment for

students with disabilities, and a networked general computer lab.

Tutoring: Call for details: Prescott 776-2085 or Verde Valley 634-6562

Online resources and

services:

Online writing tutoring for any academic subject is available atwww2.yc.edu/content/learningcenters

Instructor Procedures and Institution Policies

Attendance: Students are expected to attend and participate in all class meetings,

laboratories, and field trips. A student who expects to be absent due toanother school-sponsored activity or compelling personal reason must

make prior arrangements with the instructor. All course work must be

made up as directed by the instructor. A student who does not adhere toinstructor and College attendance requirements may be dropped fromthe course as defined in the Yavapai College General Catalog.

Course withdrawal: After the drop/add period closes, students may withdraw until thedeadline for student-initiated withdrawals. Withdrawals result in a "W"on the permanent transcript.

For semester-length classes 14 weeks in length or longer, the withdrawaldeadline is November 1 in the Fall semester, April 1 in the Spring

semester.

For classes of 4 days to 14 weeks in length, withdrawals are permitteduntil the class is 50 percent completed.

For classes of 1-3 days in length, withdrawals are permitted until the

class is 50 percent completed.

A "Y" is noted on the permanent transcript for an administrative

withdrawal. More information can be obtained from the Admissions &Registration Office.

Academic integrity: Honesty in academic work is a central element of the learningenvironment. The presentation of another individuals work as ones

own or the act of seeking unfair academic advantage through cheating, plagiarism or other dishonest means are violations of the Colleges

Student Code of Conduct. Definitions of plagiarism, cheating, andviolation of copyright and penalties for violation are available in the

Yavapai College General Catalog. All cell phones must be stowed before beginning an assessment. The presence of a cell phone on a

students desk during an assessment will be construed as cheating andthe student will receive a zero on the assignment.

Student code ofconduct: Respect for the rights of others and for the College and its property arefundamental expectations for every student. The Student Code of


5/8

Conduct outlines behavioral expectations, and explains the process forresponding to allegations of student misconduct.

Disability support services: Yavapai College is committed to providing educational support servicesto students with documented disabilities. Academic support services or

accommodations for mobility impaired students must be arranged

through the ADA Coordinator (Prescott Campus: 928.776.2079 orVerde Valley Campus: (928.634.6563).

Cell phone and pager: Yavapai College is committed to providing a quality learning

environment. All cell phones and pagers must be placed in a non-audible mode while in classrooms, computer labs, the library, the

learning center, and testing areas. Cell phones and pagers must be usedoutside these facilities.

Preventing Harassment:

Inclement Weather:

Students are expected to respond and write in a professional and

appropriate manner when activities are assigned to create scenarios,discuss opinions, present on a selected subject, or post to a web board.

Inappropriate language or objectionable material will not be toleratedand could result in a failing grade for the class. Students and faculty

each have responsibility for maintain an appropriate learningenvironment. Students who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards

may be subject to discipline. Faculty have the professionalresponsibility to treat all students with understanding, dignity and

respect, to guide classroom discussion and to set reasonable limits on themanner in which they and their students express opinions. Professional

courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect toindividuals and topics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion,

politics, sexual orientation, gender variance and nationalities. All

correspondence between instructor and students and between individualstudents must be of a professional nature. Any inappropriate language(profanity) or correspondence of a threatening or harassing nature will

result in the student being immediately dropped from the class.

If the college has a delayed start due to inclement weather then the class

will be completely cancelled.
