http://www.randolph.edu/welcome/myrcc.php
When you send me an email, please include in the subject line your name, the class name and the
section of the class, for example: Bob Smith - Blueprint Reading - 60 HY. I teach more than one
online course at the college, so this will help me respond much faster to you if I know what course
you are asking about.
ONLINE CLASSROOM POLICIES:

• Assignments may be taken up to 10 times to receive a higher grade.

QUALITY ENHANCEMENT PLAN:
WriteNOW! Improving Student Written Communication Skills for Academic and
Career Endeavors
The goal of Randolph Community College’s Quality Enhancement Plan is to improve student
written communication skills for academic and career endeavors. Therefore, each course will
include writing as a component. RCC defines effective writing as the ability to communicate a
clear message that uses standard written English and demonstrates an understanding of the
intended audience. Writing is an active learning process and is used to communicate information,
to clarify thinking, and to learn new concepts and information. The benefits of good written
communication skills extend well outside the classroom and serve to increase students’
employability.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
Randolph Community College expects the utmost integrity in its students’ academic endeavors
and behavior. Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with these high
standards of academic honesty. Consequently, Randolph Community College will not accept any
incident that threatens the integrity of the academic learning environment. Violations to the
Academic Integrity Policy include, but are not limited to instances of cheating and plagiarism.
The following sanctions for violation of the Academic Integrity Policy will be imposed by the
Instructor, Division Chair, or Vice President of Instructional Services:
• First offense – a grade of 0 on the test, quiz, or assignment
• Second offense – a grade of “F” for the course and academic probation for one semester
• Third offense – suspension or expulsion from the College
These sanctions are not on a per course or per semester basis, but rather for your entire academic
career at Randolph Community College. The appeals process varies based on the offense. For the
first offense, a student may appeal to the Instructor, Department Head, Division
Chair/Director/Coordinator, and then Dean. For the second offense, a student may further extend
the appeal process to the Vice President of Instructional Services. For the third offense, the
student may further extend the appeal process in writing to the President within 5 working days of
the Vice President’s decision. For specific examples of cheating and plagiarism, as well as, a more
detailed explanation of the appeals process, please refer to the RCC website for the Academic
Integrity Policy in its entirety
ACCOMMODATIONS:
If you have a disability that may affect your academic performance and are seeking
accommodations, it is your responsibility to inform the Coordinator of Students with Disabilities
as soon as possible. The Coordinator of Students with Disabilities is Susie Scott. She is located in
the Student Success Center (phone: 336-633-0369; e-mail: [email protected]). It is important
to apply for accommodations early enough to provide time for consideration and processing.
SAFETY STATEMENT:
The College is very concerned about protecting our students, employees, and visitors at all college
locations. You can help the College to protect everyone by reporting any threats that you receive
(or hear about) to your instructor, to security, or to another college official. The College always
takes steps to protect anyone who has reason to believe that he/she is in danger. Also, remember
to keep your belongings in secure places and report any suspicious activities to college officials.
Together, we can help our campus to be a safer place.
The syllabus is subject to change at the discretion of the instructor.
