Grading System:

Pass/Fail (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory) grade assignment based on:

Satisfactory completion of all clinical objectives (see Clinical Evaluation tool in Course 

Documents).

Safe clinical performance (Unsafe clinical practice is defined in the Student Handbook.)

Methods of Evaluation:

Mastery of clinical objectives (see Clinical Evaluation Tool)

Mid-semester evaluation

Final evaluation

Written assignments

Clinical documents submitted to instructor

Documentation in the patient record

Observation of direct patient care

Interaction with assigned patients & staff

Psychomotor skills

Teaching skills

Participation in clinical conferences

Math (Dosage and Calculations) Proficiency Exam:

Students are required to demonstrate math proficiency by passing a written 

pharmacology exam during the first week of class with a score of 90%.

Students must demonstrate proficiency before administering medications to assigned

patient(s) in the clinical setting.

Each student will be allowed a maximum of three attempts to achieve a passing score of 

90%.

First unsuccessful attempt - (quiz score <90%): The student tests within one week after 

opportunity for remediation. The student meets with the clinical instructor in a formal 

performance conference where criteria for meeting the requirements for proficiency are 

documented in writing.

Second unsuccessful attempt - (quiz score < 90%): The student meets with the clinical 

instructor in a formal probation conference. The student retests within a specified time 

period.*

Third unsuccessful attempt - (<90%): The instructor withdraws the student from the 

course. (If the occurrence is past the official college date for withdrawal from a course, 

the student will receive a performance grade of "F.")

 *Failure to keep an appointment for a repeat dosage/calculation exam is the same as 

an unsuccessful attempt.

Missed or Late Work:

Satisfactory completion of all clinical objectives, including submission of required 

homework in a timely and professional manner. Late homework will result in progressive 

discipline; i.e., first offense will result in a verbal conference; second offense will result in 

a written conference; third offense may result in probation. A pattern of late homework 

demonstrates unprofessional behavior and fails to meet clinical expectations for this 

course.

Course Policies:

ACC Policies and Procedures, Academic Guidelines, Health and Safety, and Emergency 

Instructions are located on the college website http://www.austincc.edu/students

All specific departmental policies related to the items below are located in the current 

ADN Student Handbook available online at: 

http://sites.austincc.edu/health/programs/handbooks/#rns

Students are required to sign a form acknowledging that they have received and have 

read all required program documents.

Concealed Handgun Policy

The Austin Community College District concealed handgun policy ensures compliance 

with Section 411.2031 of the Texas Government Code (also known as the Campus Carry 

Law), while maintaining ACC’s commitment to provide a safe environment for its students,

faculty, staff, and visitors.

Beginning August 1, 2017, individuals who are licensed to carry (LTC) may do so on 

campus premises except in locations and at activities prohibited by state or federal law, 

or the college’s concealed handgun policy.

It is the responsibility of license holders to conceal their handguns at all times. Persons 

who see a handgun on campus are asked to contact the ACC Police Department by 

dialing 222 from a campus phone or 512-223-7999.

IMPORTANT:  RNSG 1360 CEC campus classes are held in an area designated as 

an exclusion zone as defined by state law or the college’s concealed handgun 

policy. Concealed carry is prohibited in exclusion zones. Concealed weapons 

must be stored in a secure place as defined by college policy prior to entering 

the classroom, studio, or learning space. The Clinical Education Center remains 

a gun-free facility. As the Clinical Education Center is administered by Seton 

Healthcare Family and contains patient care areas, guns are not allowed on the

property.

Attendance/ Class Participation

Level 2 Clinical Attendance Policy:

Students must attend clinical at times specified by the clinical faculty. Timeliness 

demonstrates professionalism and accountability. If a student arrives 5 minutes after the

specified clinical start time, they are considered tardy and the corrective action policy 

found in the professional nursing student handbook will be implemented.

There are no clinical absences allowed. In the event of an emergency, which results in a 

clinical absence, the clinical instructor will provide an alternate learning assignment 

which will assist the student in meeting the learning objectives.

The required make-up work for absences does not replace the missed clinical experience

and cannot be used as the basis for passing the clinical course. Students performing at 

an unsatisfactory level who are absent or sent away from clinical due to inadequate 

preparation or unsafe clinical practice:

Will be assigned make-up work if allowed to return for additional scheduled clinical 

experiences.

Will not be allowed to substitute additional unscheduled clinical hours in order to pass the 

course.

In the event of a very serious problem, may be withdrawn from the clinical course.

Should absences occur which do not allow the full evaluation (quality and consistency) of 

student performance, faculty will be unable to assign a passing grade.

Attendance is mandatory at all clinical experiences.

If 1-12 clinical hours are missed, the student will receive a verbal warning for the absence. The student must complete an Alternate Learning Experience within a specified time frame as stated by the clinical instructor.

If 13-20 clinical hours are missed, the student will receive a clinical conference 
form to be signed by the student and the instructor acknowledging the absence 
and outlining steps to be successful in the course as well as describing the next 
step in the progressive discipline policy. The student must complete an Alternate 
Learning Experience within a specified time frame as stated by the clinical 
instructor.

If 21-28 clinical hours are missed, the student will receive a probation form and 
will be placed on probation. The student, instructor and the assistant department 
chair will sign the form and the next step in the progressive discipline policy will be
discussed. The student must complete an Alternate Learning Experience within a 
specified time frame as stated by the clinical instructor.

If more than 28 clinical hours are missed, the student must write a letter to the 
campus level lead seeking continuance in the course. The student must meet all 
of the course objectives for the course. The student may be withdrawn from the 
course.

Should absences occur which do not allow the full evaluation (quality and 
consistency) of student performance, faculty will be unable to assign a passing 
grade.

No call-No show: Students who are unable to attend clinical are required to

notify the clinical instructor and the clinical area to which the student is 

assigned a minimum of one hour prior to the start of clinical.  Failure to notify 

either or both will result in probation.

Withdrawal Policy

It is the responsibility of each student to ensure the removal of his or her name from the 

roll (class roster) should he or she withdraw from a course. The instructor reserves the

right to withdraw a student if necessary. If a student selects to withdraw, he or she 

should also verify submission of before the Final Withdrawal Date. The student is strongly 

encouraged to retain a copy of the withdrawal form for his or her records.

Upon withdrawal, a student is required to complete an exit interview with the Department 

Chair or Assistant Department Chair. At that time the student is required to return all 

Program and Agency ID’s promptly, along with any equipment or items belonging to the 

department. Failure to do so may compromise the student’s standing at ACC.

Students enrolled in the ADN program may repeat a course one time, and may only

repeat a total of 11 hours in the ADN curriculum.  

State law permits students to withdraw from no more than six courses during their 

entire undergraduate career at Texas public colleges or universities. With certain 

exceptions, all course withdrawals automatically count toward this limit. The ACC college 

catalog provides details of this policy.

Testing Center Policy

Examinations may be administered in the Nursing Computer Testing Lab as indicated on

the course calendar.

Students may access preliminary scores generated at the conclusion of the examination 

session. Faculty will post examination scores to the BlackBoard® site.

Any student scoring below 78% on an examination is encouraged to make an 

appointment with the instructor for review.

Any student requesting review of an examination question may present his/her rationale

using the required review form within one week following administration of the exam.  

Basis for the rationale must derive from the Lewis et al., textbook or required learning 

resources. 

The question review form is located in the BlackBoard® site.

Students are expected to attend all exams. If a student is unable to attend a scheduled

exam, the student must notify the course lead faculty as soon as possible prior to the 

beginning of the scheduled exam time. The final examination grade will replace one 

missed exam. If a student does not notify the lead faculty, the student will receive a 

grade of zero (0) and may not substitute the final exam grade.  Missing a second exam 

will constitute a grade of zero (0) for that exam. See ADN Student Handbook for 

additional information related to testing. 

Attendance at the comprehensive final examination is required and may only 

be rescheduled in the event of an emergency with the approval of the Level Coordinator 

and entire level faculty.  Students may contact their instructor for review of their four 

course exams, not including the comprehensive final examination.

Under certain circumstances, and instructor may have students take an examination in 

a testing center. Students using the Academic Testing Center must govern themselves 

according to the Student Guide for Use of ACC Testing Centers and should read the 

entire guide before going to take the exam. To request an examination in the ACC 

Testing Center see Testing Center Policy above.

COLLEGE POLICIES

Statement on Academic Integrity 

Austin Community College values academic integrity in the educational process.  Acts of 

academic dishonesty/misconduct undermine the learning process, present a disadvantage 

to students who earn credit honestly, and subvert the academic mission of the institution. 

The potential consequences of fraudulent credentials raise additional concerns for individuals

and communities beyond campus who rely on institutions of higher learning to certify 

students' academic achievements, and expect to benefit from the claimed knowledge and 

skills of their graduates. Students must follow all instructions given by faculty or designated 

college representatives when taking examinations, placement assessments, tests, quizzes, 

and evaluations.  Actions constituting scholastic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, 

plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, collusion, falsifying documents, or the inappropriate use of 

the college’s information technology resources.  Further information is available at https://www.austincc.edu/about-acc/academic-integrity-and-disciplinary-process

Student Rights and Responsibilities 

Academic freedom is a foundation and hallmark of higher education.  In the context of college-level 

courses, it specifically refers to the rights of free expression and respect for others with differing opinions.  

Students at the college have the rights accorded by the U.S. Constitution to freedom of speech, peaceful 

assembly, petition, and association. This concept is accompanied by an equally demanding concept of 

responsibility on the part of the student.  Just as you are expected to exercise these rights with respect 

for state and federal law in the larger world, you are expected to exercise these rights as a student with 

respect for the college’s standards of conduct.  These rights carry with them the responsibility to accord 

the same rights to others in the college community and not to interfere with or disrupt the educational 

process.  Students and faculty alike should enable a climate of mutual respect and civility while fostering 

the freedom to debate and discuss the merits of competing ideas.

Enrollment in the college indicates acceptance of the rules set forth in the student standards of conduct 

policy, which is administered through the office of the campus dean of student services. Due process, 

through an investigation and appeal process, is assured to any student involved in disciplinary action.

Student Complaints

A defined process applies to complaints about an instructor or other college employee. You are 

encouraged to discuss concerns and complaints with college personnel and should expect a timely and 

appropriate response. When possible, students should first address their concerns through informal 

conferences with those immediately involved; formal due process is available when informal resolution 

cannot be achieved.

Student complaints may include (but are not limited to) issues regarding classroom instruction, college 

services and offices on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, 

gender identity, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or disability.

Further information about the complaints process, including the form used to submit complaints, is 

available at: 

http://www.austincc.edu/students/students-rights-and-responsibilities/student-complaint-procedures

Statement on Privacy

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects confidentiality of students’ educational 

records. Grades cannot be provided by faculty over the phone, by e-mail, or to a fellow student.  All 

grades will be posted in BlackBoard. 

Safety Statement 

Health and safety are of paramount importance in classrooms, laboratories, and field activities. Students 

are expected to learn and comply with ACC environmental, health and safety procedures and agree to 

follow ACC safety policies.  Emergency Procedures posters and Campus Safety Plans are posted in 

each classroom and should be reviewed at the beginning of each semester.  All incidents (injuries/illness

/fire/property damage/near miss) should be immediately reported to the course instructor. Additional 

information about safety procedures and how to sign up to be notified in case of an emergency can be 

found at http://www.austincc.edu/emergency

Everyone is expected to conduct themselves professionally with respect and courtesy to all. Anyone 

who thoughtlessly or intentionally jeopardizes the health or safety of another individual may be 

immediately dismissed from the day’s activity and will be referred to the Dean of Student Services for 

disciplinary action.

In the event of disruption of normal classroom activities due to an emergency situation or an illness 

outbreak, the format for this course may be modified to enable completion of the course. In that event, 

students will be provided an addendum to the class syllabus that will supersede the original version.

Campus Carry

The Austin Community College District concealed handgun policy ensures compliance with Section 

411.2031 of the Texas Government Code (also known as the Campus Carry Law), while maintaining 

ACC’s commitment to provide a safe environment for its students, faculty, staff, and visitors.  Beginning 

August 1, 2017, individuals who are licensed to carry (LTC) may do so on campus premises except in 

locations and at activities prohibited by state or federal law, or the college’s concealed handgun policy.

It is the responsibility of license holders to conceal their handguns at all times. Persons who see a 

handgun on campus are asked to contact the ACC Police Department by dialing 222 from a campus 

phone or 512-223-7999.  For more information refer to the concealed handgun policy online at: http://www.austincc.edu/campus-carry

Discrimination Prohibited 

The College seeks to maintain an educational environment free from any form of discrimination or 

harassment including but not limited to discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, national 

origin, religion, age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.

Faculty at the College are required to report concerns regarding sexual misconduct (including all forms 

of sexual harassment and sex and gender-based discrimination) to the Manager of Title IX/Title 

VI/ADA Compliance.  Licensed clinical counselors are available across the District and serve as 

confidential resources for students.

Additional information about Title VI, Title IX, and ADA compliance can be found in the ACC Compliance 

Resource Guide available at:

Use of ACC email

All College e-mail communication to students will be sent solely to the student’s ACCmail account, with 

the expectation that such communications will be read in a timely fashion. ACC will send important 

information and will notify students of any college- related emergencies using this account. Students 

should only expect to receive email communication from their instructor using this account.  Likewise, 

students should use their ACCmail account when communicating with instructors and staff.  Information 

about ACC email accounts, including instructions for accessing it, are available at:  http://www.austincc.edu/help/accmail/questions-and-answers

Use of the Testing Center 

Under certain circumstances, examinations may have to be taken in a testing center. The 

ACC Testing Centers follows standard procedures so students know what to expect when 

they arrive to take their tests. Students should familiarize themselves with the

 student guidelines.

Students must present an ACC student ID card or government issued ID and know their 

ACC ID number before they can test.

It is necessary to check in at the Testing Center kiosk before taking a test. To check in, one
