Additional Class Policies and Regulations

Students must recognize that the educational process is a collaborative effort between instructor and
student and will be mindful of their role in this process.
Attendance and Participation

Students are expected to take an active role in their own learning and the learning of their peers.
If a student cannot attend a class meeting, he or she must show courtesy by informing the instructor in
advance if possible. If this is not possible, the student must inform the instructor immediately upon
return to class. An absence is excused if:
• Student is required to participate in official COMTEQ College activity (department head or
dean's letter with signature is required).
• Student is under a doctor's care (medical certificate required).
• Student has been granted a leave of absence from COMTEQ College for reasonable cause by
any department head or dean (letter required).
• Student has lost a family member.

Page 3 of 4
• One of student's immediate family member has a personal illness that requires the student's
attention.
• The student or any of their immediate family member is in an accident or unforeseen
circumstances making it impossible to attend a class.
The following are NOT acceptable excuses:

• Scheduled flights or personal trips.
• Job interviews / On-the-job training
• Accompanying a friend or relative somewhere
• Oversleeping
• Activities (such as finishing homework or project) from another class
It is also the student's responsibility to contact the instructor or other students to find out what they
missed and complete it by the due date.
Students are encouraged but NOT required to bring their own laptops and/or tablets to class during
regular lectures and laboratory sessions. However, these should only be used for class exercises or
projects. The use of any computer for gaming, social networking, or any activity that is not part of the
class is strictly prohibited during class. Likewise, use of other electronic gadgets such as mobile
phones and gaming consoles during class is not allowed. Mobile phones should be turned off or at
least put into silent mode to prevent disruption of class. Violation of this policy will result in
confiscation of the device involved. Confiscated devices will be surrendered at the Admin / Dean's
Office.
Laboratory Exercises
Regular laboratory exercises will be assigned to and should be completed by students during the
laboratory part of the class. No late submissions will be accepted unless a student has been excused
from class prior to the student's absence, in which case the student should approach the Instructor to
discuss how to make up for missed exercises.
Written / Hands-on Examinations

The school’s “No Permit No Exam” policy shall be implemented. No special exams will be given unless
a student has been excused from class prior to the student's absence, in which case the student should
approach the Instructor to get permission to take the special exam.
Cheating
Students are expected to create their own work and should not copy or use other people's work and
claim it as their own. Likewise, students should not allow their classmates to copy from them.
Students who violate this policy will receive a failing grade in the activity where they cheated.
Repeated violations of this policy may result from failure for this class.
