Acceptable Behavior
CPTC's Code of Conduct, http://www.cptc.edu/conduct-code
Even in an online setting, it is expected that you will conduct yourself in a respectful manner. Balancing your time as a student with the rest of your life (work, family, etc.), can be very trying. It is easy to get frustrated, especially in an online environment, but I want to emphasize the importance of respecting diversity and being pro-active and responsible for yourself, your words, and your actions. My primary goal is to support you as you take responsibility for your education, so please communicate and do so with kindness. The general idea of "treat others the way you want to be treated" along with our outlined code of conduct, is something I take very seriously and will be very explicit about throughout the quarter.
How to Succeed In This Class
- Attend the streamed classes, whether in-person or online, and work during labs.
- Watch the recorded lectures when you need.
- Submit assignments.
Access and Accommodations
Student Absence for Reasons of Faith or Conscience
Students who will be absent from course activities due to reasons of faith or conscience may seek reasonable accommodations so that grades are not impacted. Such requests must be made within the first two weeks of the quarter and should follow the procedures listed on the policy webpage: http://www.cptc.edu/policies/student-absence-for-reasons-of-faith-or-conscience
Disability Statement
CPTC values diversity and inclusion; we are committed to fostering mutual respect and full participation for all students. My goal is to create a learning environment that is equitable, useable, inclusive, and welcoming.
In order to ensure that the accommodations provided are reasonable and appropriate, all disability-related accommodation requests are processed through our Disability Resources for Students (DRS) Office. If you have, or think you may have, a disability that may affect your work in this class and feel you need accommodations, contact the Disability Resource Coordinator to schedule an appointment and initiate a conversation about reasonable accommodations. The DRS Office is located in Bldg. 17, Room 103, 253-589-5534, disabilityresources@cptc.edu, http://www.cptc.edu/disability.
If you have already documented a disability or other condition through the CPTC DRS Office, qualified for services and would like to receive accommodations in my class, please contact DRS and request that your Letter of Accommodations be sent to me so that I will know which accommodations are necessary to support you while in my class.
Library
TCC’s Library offers access to a range of research materials including books, e-books, DVDs/CDs, and subscription databases that carry thousands of publications covering a wide range of disciplines. The faculty librarians offer research support for all students, of all levels of research experience.

Student Resources

College Closure and Class Cancellation
Should the Clover Park Technical College (CPTC) campus close due to inclement weather or other extenuating circumstances, it is important that you do not come to campus. The general expectation is that you will turn in your work during the next scheduled class meeting. However, please note that for online classes, you are still expected to submit your work on time according to the established deadlines.
In the event that a face-to-face class is canceled, you will receive an email notification if time allows, and a note will be posted on the classroom door to inform you. For information regarding school closures, whether partial or total, you can visit the CPTC home page at www.cptc.edu, where a message will be displayed only if the college is closed.
Academic Dishonesty
It is the official policy of Clover Park Technical College that cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, and other forms of academic misconduct are grounds for disciplinary action under the Code of Students Rights and Responsibilities. The student accused of academic dishonesty may be reported to the appropriate college authorities for initiation of disciplinary proceedings, which could result in disciplinary sanctions ranging from a warning to expulsion from the college. Definitions of academic dishonesty and descriptions of the hearing and appeal process are available in the college's Administrative Procedure for Academic Dishonesty, accessible in all administrative offices.
Considering the nature of all courses at Clover Park Technical College, in which they are intended to provide practice and development of skills in a safe and low-pressure environment, instances of plagiarism will be addressed initially as an opportunity for individual or group instruction, as appropriate. However, continued or deliberate plagiarism may result in a 0 (zero) score given to the respective work.
Instances of work that clearly demonstrate cheating, such as copying from a fellow student, will also be given a 0 (zero) score. Deliberate and repeated cases of plagiarism and cheating will result in a referral to the appropriate college authorities. For more information, please refer to the student conduct section of your college's portal. If you have any questions regarding plagiarism and academic honesty, feel free to consult your instructors, library faculty, or the Writing and Tutoring Center.
