ATTENDANCE POLICY
Missouri Health Professions Consortium (MHPC)
Students enrolled in the MHPC OTA program are expected to attend all scheduled class sessions. Students are expected to be prepared, and demonstrate timely attendance for all class/lab/fieldwork sessions and appointments. Attendance will be taken at the discretion of the instructors. A faculty member may use attendance, or lack of attendance, as a criterion in the determination of a course grade.
In the event of an unexpected absence, it is the student's responsibility to notify the OTA Program Office and send an e-mail to the course instructor(s) regarding missed work and reason for absence. The instructor on record can then make a determination with this information on how the absences can be rectified or whether it is possible to satisfactorily complete the course with the number of identified absences. Students aware of an anticipated absence should inform the course instructor at least 24 hours in advance, in writing; email is acceptable.
For students exhibiting habitual tardiness or absence (i.e. more than one occurrence) the course instructor will note the issue on the student’s academic advising form and put a copy in the student’s file.
If two consecutive weeks of class are missed during the regular 16-week semester, the student will be dropped from that class unless acceptable justification is supplied to the instructor, Program Director, and Dean of the community college. Additionally, a student who misses more than one-fourth of the class during any scheduled session may be dropped from that class by the instructor if in the opinion of the instructor the student does not have a reasonable opportunity to succeed in the class.
ACADEMIC POLICY
The Missouri Health Professions Consortium (MHPC) considers academic dishonesty a serious offense. Students are expected to be familiar with their home campus’ definitions and explanations of academic dishonestly. MHPC will uphold and refer to those definitions.
The department will not tolerate plagiarism, cheating, unauthorized possession of exams or exam questions/information, tampering with instructor's grade book or grades, or in any way producing class work, papers, or exams through deceptive, illegitimate means. Any student who commits an act of academic dishonesty is subject to disciplinary action and possible dismissal from the program.
Academic honesty is fundamental to the activities and principles of a program. All members of the academic community must honorably have acquired, developed, and presented. Any effort to gain an advantage not given to all students is dishonest whether or not the effort is successful. The academic community regards academic dishonesty as an extremely serious matter, with serious consequences that range from probation to expulsion. When in doubt about plagiarism, paraphrasing, quoting, or collaboration, consult the course instructor.
