Vehicles for Shop Use: Although cars are always needed for the shop, whose car and which car is worked on first is not considered an important part of the course. The instructor reserves the right to decide which cars will be worked on based on the pace of the curriculum and only work related to the course will be considered. NATEF: The board of the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) is the responsible body for the Automobile technician training certification program. The Certification program is under the direct supervision of the board of trustees of the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF). The purpose of the automobile technician training certification program is to improve the quality of training offered at the secondary and post-secondary levels. Austin Community College is currently certified in all automotive areas. Statement on Students with Disabilities: Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented physical or psychological disabilities. Students with disabilities must request reasonable accommodations through the Office of Students with Disabilities on the campus where they expect to take the majority of their classes. Students are encouraged to do this two weeks prior to the start of the semester. Students who are requesting accommodations must provide the instructor with a letter of accommodation from the OSD at the beginning of the semester. Accommodations can only be made after the instructor receives the letter of accommodation. Dress Code: Students are expected to come to class prepared to work in a shop environment. Opened toed shoes, baggy clothing, short shorts and anything else that is considered distracting or hazardous is not permitted. If the student is dressed inappropriately, the instructor reserves the right to ask the student to leave. 2 Attendance & Class Participation: Regular and punctual class and shop attendance is expected of all students. For every total hour you are late to class, you will lose 5 points from your final grade. If you arrive more than 15 minutes after the start of class, you will be considered late. For every class you leave early, you will receive a 50 for the class period. You may have up to 2 excused absences. Once you have reached the third absence, the instructor has the option to withdraw the student from the course. Withdrawal Policy: It is the responsibility of each student to ensure his or her name is removed from the class roster should he or she decide to withdraw from the class. The instructor does, however, reserve the right to drop a student should he or she feel it is necessary. If a student decides to withdraw, he or she must that the withdrawal is submitted before the final withdrawal date. The student is also strongly encouraged to retain their copy of the withdrawal form for their records. Students who enroll for the third or subsequent time in a course taken since Fall 2002, may be charged a higher tuition rate for that course. 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 towards this limit. Details regarding this policy can be found in the ACC college catalog. Incompletes: An instructor may award a grade of “I” (incomplete) if a student is unable to complete all of the objectives for the passing grade of the course. An incomplete grade cannot be carried beyond the established date in the following semester. The completion date is determined by the instructor but may not be later than the final deadline for withdrawal in the subsequent semester. Statement on Scholastic Dishonesty: A student attending ACC assumes responsibility for conduct compatible with the mission of the college as an educational institution. Students have the responsibility to submit coursework that is the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression. 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, and falsifying documents. Penalties for scholastic dishonesty will depend upon the nature of the violation and may range from lowering a grade on one assignment to an “F” in the course and/or expulsion from the college. See the Student Standards of Conduct and Disciplinary Process and other policies at: http://www.austincc.edu/current/needtoknow 3 Student Rights and Responsibilities: Students at the college have the rights accorded by the U.S. Constitution to freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, petition, and association. 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. Opportunity for students to examine and question pertinent data and assumptions of a given discipline, guided by the evidence of scholarly research, is appropriate in a learning environment. This concept is accompanied by an equally demanding concept of responsibility on the part of the student. As willing partners in learning, students must comply with college rules and procedures. **I will gladly meet with you upon request. You may contact me on my cell phone.
