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.
