Student Rights and Responsibilities: Expectations of Students
Student Rights and Responsibilities
Expectations of Students
CCCOnline students assume an obligation to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with the college’s function as an educational institution. CCCOnline expects each student to obey the federal, state, and municipal laws, as well as college regulations and course guidelines. Any act which interferes with the learning process, rights of others, disrupts or impairs the normal functioning of the college, damages or destroys property, or impairs health or safety is grounds for suspension or expulsion from the college.
CCCOnline students are expected to:
- Participate in online courses according to the syllabus and schedule posted by the instructor. Each course has a regular schedule of activities and assignments. Classes are not self-paced.
- Be aware of and comply with the CCCOnline policies and procedures in the CCCOnline Student Handbook.
- Be familiar with important dates in the CCCOnline Academic Calendar.
- Keep your instructor’s contact information accessible in case of technical issues.
- Be competent users of the Internet, computers, email and word-processing software.
- Acquire all required course materials by the first day of class.
- Read the course syllabus and participate in your class according to the schedule posted in the course.
- Ask instructors for clarification on anything you don’t understand or need help with. Ask for help; your instructors are there for you.
- Maintain courtesy and respect toward your classmates, instructors, home college employees and CCCOnline employees. Use appropriate netiquette in all online communication.
- Document any disabilities with your home college Student Services Office. Inform your instructor of the accommodations that have been approved by your home college.
- Take responsibility for computer problems that prevent you from accessing your course or completing assignments:
- Let your instructor know as soon as possible if you are having technical problems.
- Contact 24×7 Technical Support at 1-888-800-9198 or http://help.cccs.edu
- Find other means of accessing your course and/or completing assignments until the problem with your computer is fixed. Use a friend or family member’s computer, use a computer at a public library, or use the computer lab at your home college if available and accessible.
