COURSE EVALUATION/GRADING SYSTEM:

NOTE: Each of these competencies are graded using the weighted average method. For students who already have accounting knowledge to achieve 80% or higher on a test-out exam, contact the instructor for information about testing out and bypassing the assignments. The students who DO NOT already have accounting knowledge should go straight to the chapter assignments after completing orientation.

BASIS FOR GRADING:

ACNT 1304 – Spring 2026 (1st)

Please note that schedule changes may occur during the semester. Any changes will be posted as a Blackboard Announcement and emailed to your ACC email account.

Competency Test-Out Exams are for students who already have the knowledge of the chapters. Students who are interested in taking a Test-Out Exam must contact the Professor prior to the Test-Out Due Dates listed in the course schedule above.

A minimum score of 80% is required to bypass the Chapter assignments. If unsuccessful, students must complete all Chapter assignments and take the Competency Exam.

The last day to receive full credit for Cengage Homework Assignments is the last day of the term as listed on the schedule. The regular Competency Exams will be open ONLY FOR THE WEEK SPECIFIED IN THE COURSE SCHEDULE. If you want to keep up with the course, you need to keep up with the due dates for the chapter assignments.

CLASSROOM & STUDENT POLICIES (COURSE POLICIES)

Attendance/Class Participation: This course is asynchronous, which means that this course does NOT meet in a classroom or otherwise. Students must complete the orientation in Blackboard. The deadline to complete ALL the orientation requirements is Friday, January 23, 11:55pm.

Students must demonstrate course progress. Regular completion of work is expected of all students.

The student is responsible for communicating with their professor during the course and completing any assignments or other activities designated by their professor.

The student is responsible for checking their ACCmail once a day. If the professor asks for a response to an email, the student MUST respond in a timely manner

If compliance with course policies is unsatisfactory, the instructor may withdraw students from the class.

Withdrawal Policy: It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that his or her name is removed from the roll should he or she decide to withdraw from the class. The instructor does, however, reserve the right to withdraw a student should he or she feel it is necessary. If compliance with course policies is unsatisfactory, the instructor may withdraw students from the class.

The instructor may withdraw a student for the following reasons:

1. If a graded assignment is not completed by the Census Date (Monday, January 27, 12:00AM), a student will automatically be withdrawn for non-attendance.
2. If compliance with any course policy is unsatisfactory.

If a student decides to withdraw, he or she should also verify that the withdrawal is submitted before the Final Withdrawal Date. The final withdrawal date for the Spring 2026 semester (1st 8-week session)  is Monday, March 9, 2026. The student is also strongly encouraged to keep any paperwork in case a problem arises.

Students are responsible for understanding the impact that withdrawal from a course may have on their academic standing, financial aid, veterans’ benefits, and international student status. Per state law, students enrolling for the first time in Fall 2007 or later at any public Texas college or university may not withdraw (receive a “W”) from more than six courses during their undergraduate college education. Some exemptions for good cause could allow a student to withdraw from a course without having it count toward this limit. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with an advisor when making decisions about course selection, course loads, and course withdrawals.

ORIENTATION AND INTRODUCTION to the class is mandatory. All recordings will be posted to Blackboard Ultra in the appropriate area.

EXAM AVAILABILITY & DUE DATES/MAKEUPS/REOPENING EXAMS:

Competency Exams are ONLY available during the date range listed in the course schedule. There are no makeup exams. Competency Exams cannot be taken after the due date listed in the schedule. If a student has an issue with that due date, they must contact the professor prior to the due date. The instructor has the discretion to open the exam early or make necessary accommodations for the student. If a student has a technical issue with an exam, the professor may reopen the exam once. Students must report their technical issue IMMEDIATELY. This is not a retake of the exam, but a reopening of the exam to allow a student to complete it. Exams may not be reopened simply because a student was unsatisfied with their grade.

Please note: Exams must be taken in one sitting. Students may not open the exam, look at it, then decide to sign out and come back later. Exams are not the same as homework assignments.

Assignment Due Dates: The due dates for assignments are included in Cengage and Blackboard Ultra. There are three important dates for assignments.

• Available Date: this date will represent when the assignments will be available to take.
• Due Date: this date will coincide with the course schedule. It is recommended that you complete the assignments by the due date to keep up with the course work and be prepared for the competency exams.
• Unavailable Date: this date is the final date assignments are available for submission. Students have until the last day of the course at 11:55pm to turn in chapter assignments with no penalty.

Final Grade Calculation: Final grades are determined based on a weighted average (refer to Course Evaluation/Grading System above).

INSTRUCTIONAL METHODOLOGY:

The objectives of this course will be met by incorporating a Flipped-classroom instructional method which works well with online instruction. The student will work independently by reading each chapter, watching the lecture videos, and completing assignments in CengageNow. The course structure will help to develop the necessary skills of problem-solving and critical analysis needed for the accounting environment. Accounting has a conceptual side and an applied side; this course uses these understandings in a way that helps the student to understand accounting concepts and apply them to independent activities.

COURSE ORGANIZATION AND DELIVERY METHOD:

This is an online course designed to allow the students to complete this course in an effective manner by keeping up with the schedule or working ahead. Recorded lectures will be provided for each chapter; they are posted in your Blackboard Ultra course. The Course Schedule in this syllabus will show the flow of the assignments for this course; it will also be posted in Blackboard Ultra.

 Here are some helpful tips in being successful in this course:

1. Keep up with the weekly schedule - we understand that sometimes circumstances can interfere, if so, make sure to catch up to get back on track. If you have a circumstance that permits you from completing your assignments, please send me an email to discuss your options.
2. Use the resources in Cengage - the textbook offers several resources to help you complete assignments. The resources are:
   1. “Show Me How” videos- these videos will walk you through a similar problem to assist in completing the assignment.
   2. “Check My Work” Button- this item will help the student to complete the assignment by being able to “check” the work the student has entered. The system will give you a green check for correct and a red X for incorrect answers. You will have a maximum number of times you can check your work, after you have run out, you can submit your assignment to get them back again. A good rule of thumb is if you use 2 Check My Works and don’t get the correct answer, start using your other resources to help. The number of “Check My Works” will vary for each assignment.
   3. E-book Links - each assignment will have the learning objective associated with the problem. Click the link to go back to the textbook and view illustrations on the how to solve the problem.
3. Time Management is Important: I know everyone have prior commitments or other classes; I highly encourage all to utilize the time spent in the course in a positive way by using all the available resources to grasp the material. Reach out for help if needed and keep the line of communication open with me.

MEASUREMENT OF LEARNING OUTCOMES:

The completion of the learning outcomes for this course will be assessed by the following independent activities. It is best to complete the Learn, Apply, and Master assignments in that order as the assignments increase in complexity.

• Learn Activity: These assignments are an introduction to each chapter and cover all the learning objectives. Students may watch a video and then answer 2 to 4 questions over the video. There are other questions that will gauge your understanding of the learning objectives. These assignments will be accessed via Blackboard Ultra using the Cengage links provided.
• Apply Activity: These assignments will cover all the learning objectives in each chapter. These assignments will be accessed via Blackboard Ultra using the Cengage links provided.
• Master Activity: Homework consists of assignments that cover at least 2 learning objectives in each chapter that has been covered in lecture and some of the other activities. These assignments will be accessed via Blackboard Ultra using the Cengage links provided.
• Competency Exams: DO NOT MISS ANY EXAMS. They are only available for the date range shown in the course schedule.

INCOMPLETE:

Incomplete grades are given only on rare occasions at the instructor’s discretion. Generally, to receive an Incomplete, a student must have completed all examinations and assignments to date, with a satisfactory grade of C or better, and have personal circumstances that prevent course completion that occur after the deadline to withdraw, Monday, March 9, 2026.

WHERE TO GO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS:

Instructor:

My preferred contact method is email. I don’t use Google Chat.

If you have anything of a personal nature to discuss with me (grades, personal issues, etc) you can email me anytime or make an appointment in virtual classroom during my 7:00pm-7:30pm office hours. Please email me to sign up for a time slot to meet in the virtual classroom during this timeframe. If this timeframe doesn’t work, we can also schedule an appointment at a more convenient time.

I also have open Virtual Classroom Question & Answer sessions during my office hours from 7:30pm-8:30pm. I will go over any questions on the course material and assignments. These sessions are optional. This is an open forum. All you need to do is come into the virtual classroom (Google Meet) anytime during the session. No appointment is required. If this timeframe doesn’t work, we can also schedule an appointment for a more convenient time. You can email me questions on the course material and assignments anytime.

When you contact me, I may not be able to respond to email until after 7:00pm, Monday - Friday. Depending on my schedule, I can often respond during the day; however, there is no guarantee. On Saturday and Sunday, I will be able to respond to email after 7:30pm.

Course Tutor:

The course tutor, Yolonda Holland, uses the Google Chat and Google Meet applications for tutoring. If you need help throughout the week; just send a Chat Message to yholland@austincc.edu or schedule a time to meet virtually from your Blackboard Ultra course in the Virtual Tutoring Center (VTC).

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS THAT ARE NOT PERSONAL IN NATURE OR SPECIFIC TO YOUR GRADES, ETC., YOU CAN POST TO THE DISCUSSION BOARD IN BLACKBOARD. This is a forum for students to interact and ask questions. I will review the discussion board on a bi-weekly basis and also answer questions. Occasionally, I may use the Discussion Board to post non-urgent information or items that do not necessarily warrant an announcement in Blackboard.

Where to go if you have complaints: You may review the complaint and grievance policy online:  http://www.austincc.edu/students/students-rights-and-responsibilities/student-complaint-procedures. Please attempt to resolve the complaint immediately with me directly. If the complaint cannot be resolved, then my immediate supervisor is Dr. Larry Stephens.

The TSBPA (Texas State Board of Public Accountants) have asked us to inform students of the following regarding how to identify yourself when working in the accounting field but do not have a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) license in Texas:

Q: Can I refer to myself as a CPA, accountant, and/or auditor, or any other variation of these titles?

You can only refer to yourself as a CPA, accountant or auditor if you are a licensed CPA in the state of Texas. See Section 901.453 of The Public Accountancy Act.

Q: Can I refer to myself as a specialist in a specific area (such as tax or accounting)?

A CPA should avoid the use of terms such as “specialist”. Although the Board has the authority to recognize specializations in the practice of public accounting, it currently does not do so. See Section 901.157 of The Public Accountancy Act. 

Q: If I am not a CPA, how should I refer to myself?

In your bio, you should state the degree and/or certificate you received from Austin Community College. For example, “I received an Accounting Specialist degree from Austin Community College in 2019.” You should not refer to yourself as an accountant or auditor if you are not a licensed CPA in the state of Texas.

Additional Information regarding the Accounting Department, faculty, your course program, and basic accounting tools/resources can be found at http://sites.austincc.edu/accounting/

COLLEGE POLICIES

The college policies are also considered to be part of the syllabus. Read the “College Policies & Student Support Services” document. You can access this document in Blackboard. It is part of the orientation.

ACC POLICIES:

Student Rights and Responsibilities (Academic freedom statement): 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.

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.

Students with Disabilities Statement: Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented disabilities. Students with disabilities who need classroom, academic or other accommodations must request them through the office of Student Accessibility Services (SAS). Students are encouraged to request accommodations when they register for courses or at least three weeks before the start of the semester, otherwise the provision of accommodations may be delayed.

Students who have received approval for accommodations from SAS for this course must provide the instructor with the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ from SAS before accommodations will be provided. Arrangements for academic accommodations can only be made after the instructor receives the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ from the student. Students with approved accommodations are encouraged to submit the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ to the instructor at the beginning of the semester because a reasonable amount of time may be needed to prepare and arrange for the accommodations.

Additional information about the Students Accessibility Services is available at Student Accessibility Services.

Grade Change Policies: Click on this link to view the policy. (See Student Handbook.)

Rule of Three: Per state law, effective spring 2006 any student taking a class for the third time or more may be charged an additional $60 per credit hour unless exempted. Click on this link for more information.

Safety Statement: Austin Community College is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for study and work. You are expected to learn and comply with ACC environmental, health and safety procedures and agree to follow ACC safety policies. Additional information on these can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/ehs.   Because some health and safety circumstances are beyond our control, we ask that you become familiar with the Emergency Procedures poster and Campus Safety Plan map in each classroom. Additional information about emergency procedures and how to sign up for ACC Emergency Alerts to be notified in the event of a serious emergency can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/emergency/.

Please note, you are expected to conduct yourself professionally with respect and courtesy to all. Anyone who thoughtlessly or intentionally jeopardizes the health or safety of another individual will be dismissed from the day’s activity, may be withdrawn from the class, and/or barred from attending future activities.

Concealed Handgun Policy: Statement for standard classroom courses (non-exclusion zone)

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.

Refer to the concealed handgun policy online.

Student and Instructional Services: ACC strives to provide exemplary support to its students and offers a broad variety of opportunities and services. Information on these services and support systems is available here.

Links to many student services and other information can be found here.
