6 75.00% or more. Rounding will not be used to assess or determine the final grade. If a student fails the final examination a second attempt will be given. The highest score a student can achieve on the second attempt is 75% and the final grade for the examination only will be a C. If the student fails the final examination on the second attempt, the student will not pass the course, and therefore will not be able to progress in the program. Students absent from an examination/test/quiz or presentation will receive a 0 grade for the examination/test/quiz unless other arrangements are made with the individual instructor prior to the examination/test/quiz or presentation day or on the examination/test/quiz or presentation day before the examination/test/quiz/presentation is scheduled to be given. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the appropriate instructor to arrange to make up the examination. Arrangements may be completed by telephone. If the instructor is not available, a message should be left on the instructor s voice mail AND with another member of the faculty or administrative assistant. The instructor will decide the time and method of make-up examination/test/quiz/presentation on an individual basis. Messages sent by other students are unacceptable. The student is responsible for notifying the instructor of the reason for the absence. Grades are posted on Blackboard within one week of administration of tests and examinations. Each student must demonstrate safety and competence in required laboratory skills. Students are responsible for insuring that laboratory skills are checked off by the instructor. All laboratory skills must be passed with a minimum score of 75% in order to pass the course and progress in the program. Students will be given two opportunities to pass each skill check. The highest score a student can achieve on the second attempt is 75% and the final grade for the skill check only will be 75%. In addition, the student must pass the final practical examination (score 75% or greater) in order to pass the course. Should the student fail the final practical examination, the student will be given one opportunity to retake the final practical examination. If the student fails the final practical examination on the second attempt, the student will not pass the course, and therefore will not be able to progress in the program. The highest possible score on retaking the final practical examination is 75.00%. Noncompliance with a critical safety criterion will result in an automatic failure on skills checks as well as practical examinations. In summary, to pass the course and progress in the program the student must meet all 4 criteria: 1. pass the final examination with a grade of 75.00% or above 2. pass the final practical examination with a grade of 75.00% or above 3. pass All competency skill checks with a grade of 75.00% or above 4. the final grade for all course evaluation methods must equate to a grade of 75.00% or above Reviewed by PTA Faculty 5/4/2015 6

7 TEST REVIEW Tests will be reviewed in class and discussion will be limited to the right answer. Students will not be allowed to take any written notes, use electronic devices to take notes or make an image of the tests. All items have to be removed from the desk/table top during the test review. For any discussion beyond the right answer, set up an appointment with the instructor to further discuss. Prior to the final exam, test review will be done during the last class of the semester. All items have to be removed from desk/table top during the test review. No notes can be taken and no electronic devices can be used to take notes or make images of the tests. This is an opportunity to ask questions about concepts that you do not understand. If individualized time is need for test review, an appointment can be made with the instructor, but not during exam week and the time limit will be 10 minutes. All tests will be reviewed under the supervision of an instructor. Students cannot bring any class notes with them. ADA STATEMENT The Technical College of the Lowcountry provides access, equal opportunity and reasonable accommodation in its services, programs, activities, education and employment for individuals with disabilities. To request disability accommodation, contact the counselor for students with disabilities at (843) or (843) during the first ten business days of the academic term. ATTENDANCE 1. The College s statement of policy indicates that students must attend ninety percent of total class hours or they will be in violation of the attendance policy. 2. Students not physically attending class during the first ten calendar days from the start of the semester must be dropped from the class for NOT ATTENDING. 3. Students taking an online/internet class must sign in and communicate with the instructor within the first ten calendar days from the start of the semester to indicate attendance in the class. Students not attending class during the first ten calendar days from the start of the semester must be dropped from the class for NOT ATTENDING. 4. Reinstatement requires the signature of the division dean. a. In the event it becomes necessary for a student to withdraw from the course OR if a student stops attending class, it is the student s responsibility to initiate and complete the necessary paperwork. Withdrawing from class may have consequences associated with financial aid and time to completion. b. When a student exceeds the allowed absences, the student is in violation of the attendance policy. The instructor MUST withdrawal the student with a grade of W, WP, or WF depending on the date the student exceeded the allowed absences and the student s progress up to the last date of attendance or c. under extenuating circumstances and at the discretion of the faculty member teaching the class, allow the student to continue in the class and make-up the work. This exception must be documented at the time the allowed absences are exceeded. d. Absences are counted from the first day of class. There are no "excused" absences. All absences are counted, regardless of the reason for the absence. 5. A student must take the final exam or be excused from the final exam in order to earn a nonwithdrawal grade.

Three tardies and/or early departures are considered as one absence unless stated otherwise. Instructor must be notified prior to start of class by call, text or if the student is going to be late. 7. It is the student's responsibility to sign the roll sheet (if used) or verify attendance with instructor upon entering the classroom. Failure to sign the roll/verify attendance results in a recorded absence. In the event of tardiness, it is the student s responsibility to insure that attendance is marked. The student is responsible for all material/ announcements presented, whether present or absent. 8. Continuity of classroom and laboratory (which includes clinical experiences) is essential to the student s progress in providing safe and competent patient care. Students are expected to use appropriate judgment for participating in clinical activities. To evaluate the student s knowledge and skills, it is necessary for the student to be present for all classroom, laboratory and clinical experiences. If absence does occur, the designated instructor, other core faculty, or the Division of Health Sciences administrative assistant (in that order), must be notified by telephone no later than 30 minutes prior to the start of class, lab or clinical experiences.
