18.1 Regular attendance at scheduled class sessions is expected. Refer to your course syllabus for classroom policies.
18.2 Administrative Withdrawal
Students who are reported at mid-term by their instructors on the mid-term grade lists as non-attending/failing “F” (not actively pursuing completion of the course) will be institutionally withdrawn from those courses and will have final grades of WX recorded on their transcripts. The WX grade is treated the same as a withdrawal (W) grade. When the semester or term ends, “WX” will be officially recorded as the final grade.
An instructor may ask a student whose behavior is disruptive to leave the classroom. If an instructor feels a student’s behavior justifies dismissal from a course, program or the college, a recommendation shall be submitted to the vice president for student affairs for consideration, recommendation, and action. The vice president for student affairs will initiate an investigation of reported violations in accordance with college policy for student due process.
18.3 The instructor has the right to record the grade of F for the course, reduce a student’s grade or submit an institutional withdrawal request to Admissions and Registration if a student has excessive absences as defined in the course syllabus with the exception of students under the Title IX regulation regarding pregnant and parenting students.
18.4 If an instructor is more than 15 minutes late in arriving at a class session, the students may be excused.
18.5 Classroom visitors are prohibited without prior permission from the instructor. Approved visitors to laboratory classes are required to have approved safety equipment.
18.6 For their safety and well-being, children are not permitted in classes, in the testing center, in computer, or tutoring labs, or in employee work areas.
Also, for safety reasons, children under age 14 cannot be left unattended. This includes KCC campus property and vehicles, satellite centers, employee work areas, and college events. In the event a child under the age of 14 years is left unattended, KCC employees will notify campus security and the vice president for student affairs to locate the parent/guardian and document the incident. Every effort will be made to locate the child’s parents/guardians before contacting the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS).
