Visit the TVCC bookstore website to view and/or purchase our textbook.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open, honest and scholarly manner. Academic integrity is a basic guiding principle for all academic activity at Trinity Valley Community College, and all members of the College community are expected to act in accordance with this principle. Consistent with this expectation, the College states that all students shall act with personal integrity, respect other students’ dignity, rights and property, and help establish and maintain an environment in which all can succeed. Violations of academic integrity will be handled as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct section of the catalog.

Attendance Policy

Non-Attendance and Financial Aid: If you are receiving financial aid, federal regulations require you to have begun attending the courses for which you are enrolled on or before the census date (e.g., 12th day of each fall and spring semester). Attendance in an online course is verified by substantial participation in the course on or before the census date. TVCC defines substantial participation as logging in to the online course AND completing/participating in at least one requirement of the course. Your substantial participation in this course included completing Quiz 1. Students documented as “not attending” a course upon the census date are assumed (for financial aid purposes) to have NOT begun attendance for that course, and this may negatively affect financial aid disbursements.

You are responsible for logging in to the course at least twice a week to get your assignments, read announcements, and post discussions. Logging in daily is recommended. Failing to do so is comparable to failing to participate in a traditional face-to-face class.

Netiquette

Accepted standards of computer etiquette will be expected in this class. For information about computer etiquette, see the Core Rules of Netiquette.
