Conduct Statement

In a college class, it is expected that the instructor or any student or guest speaker have the complete attention of the class. “Disruption of teaching” and Failure to comply with the directions of a college official acting in the performance of his or her duties” are cause for removal of a student from a class. Often when students are sitting in the back rows of large classes, they complain that they cannot hear due to noise from others.


Assessment

St. Louis Community College is committed to the continuous improvement of student academic achievement. The college undertakes assessment of its academic programs and courses to assure that student learning is not only occurring but improving. Further, classroom assessment by individual instructors discovers what is working in the particular classroom to facilitate learning. At each of these levels of academic achievement - classroom, course and program - you, the student, will be asked to participate to enable the College to improve its product, which is your learning. Assessment is a means to evaluate the learning process and is separate from the grading process. Your participation will be solicited and appreciated.

ACCESS OFFICE:

We all have various channels through which we learn best. The College has an office that guides, counsels, and assists students with disabilities. It is called the Access Program and it is located in Room 244 of Clark Hall (Ph. 984-7673). If you have special needs, you should register with the Access Program so that you may receive their services. It is the student’s responsibility to meet with instructors to bring up anything needed to help you succeed. Access students have a right to reasonable accommodations that will help them learn in the class. It is important that you explain your needs clearly and make sure your instructor understands your requests. A brief comment after class when many people are trying to talk to the instructor is rarely the best way to get information across. After you have registered with the Access Office, please contact your instructor during the first week of class and try to make sure your needs and possible accommodations are clear.
