ATTENDANCE: |
Your attendance in class and laboratory is very important to your successful educational experience. In essence, missing a class result in you being “docked” the educational material or access to the lab for the time that you missed. It is the student’s responsibility to make up for the information that they missed through outside reading. Your instructor is not obligated to provide you with a make-up assignment or examination. Students who are absent in excess of the equivalent on one week of classes ( 1 day if the class meets one day a week, 2 days if the class meets 2 days a week, etc.) may be withdrawn from the class for non-attendance. This standard applies whether the absence is excused or not excused. The instructor may choose to withdraw students for non-attendance as a favor to the student to prevent the posting of a grade of “F” for unsuccessful completion of the course. The instructor does not have the responsibility of withdrawing students. Students who are not progressing successfully and who do not withdraw by the final date to withdraw with a grade of “W” will earn a grade of “F”. |
|
CHEATING POLICY: |
Cheating and plagiarism are considered serious rules violations at San Bernardino Valley College. An instructor who determines that a student has cheated or plagiarized has the right to give an “F” grade for that assignment or examination. They may also choose to report the student to the Vice President of Student Services for further action. |

TECHNICAL EDUCATION DIVISION
STUDENT STANDARDS AND EXPECTATIONS
Welcome to the San Bernardino Valley College Auto Collision & Refinishing program. All of the instructors in this program are skilled professionals ready, willing, and eager to share their knowledge and expertise with you.
Armed with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that you will gain from your studies throughout this program, you will be prepared to embark on a rewarding career. It is important to note, however, that in today’s competitive job market, knowledge and skill in the field are not enough. Employers are looking for employees with the right attitudes to contribute to the success of their company. To help you reinforce these attitudes, the following standards and expectations have been set and will apply equally to all students.
Personal Traits
Personal traits desirable to the world of work include dependability, responsibility, integrity and honesty, and appropriate appearance or dress for work. To reinforce these traits, the following standards have been established: Responsibility
It is your responsibility to be prepared for class, complete your assignments on time, complete all laboratory work in an efficient manner, and be prepared for all quizzes or examinations. Please read and pay close attention to the course syllabus to assure that you are prepared and that you are meeting all assignment deadlines.
Your instructor is not required to extend any deadlines or to give any make-up examinations or extra credit work. Your grade will be based on how well you learn the materials and complete all course assignments.
Personal Appearance and Dress
You are expected to dress in a manner that is consistent with the dress standards of the career field that you are preparing to enter. If your dress is deemed to be unsafe or unprofessional, your instructor may request that you leave class and return when you are more appropriately dressed. Of course, you are being “docked” educational time during this absence from class.
Interpersonal Skills and Teamwork
Class Decorum
You are expected to treat your instructor with respect at all times. You are also expected to respect your fellow students. Treating each other professionally and with kindness adds to the effective learning environment of the classroom and laboratory.
You are also expected to respect the integrity of the educational environment. To that end, all cell phones and other electronic devices will be turned off inside the classroom.
Additionally, disrupting the educational environment of the classroom through inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. When students disrupt the educational process, they are stealing educational opportunities from all students in the class. This behavior will not be tolerated. Disruptive students who do not comply with an instructor’s request to stop the inappropriate behavior may be temporarily suspended from the class and referred to the Vice President of Student Services.
Safety
Students are instructed on the safety requirements of every class. Working in an unsafe manner endangers you and your fellow students. Safety violations will not be tolerated. Students violating any safety rules may be temporarily suspended from the class and referred to the Vice President of Student Services.
Teamwork
Teamwork is a key to the success of any business or industry. Therefore, teamwork is often required on a variety of assignments in the classroom or laboratory. When working in a team, it is essential that each member of the team contributes to the effort and that every member of the team is given the opportunity to contribute to the success of the project.
Effective Management of Resources
Industry standards demand that employees operate all tools and equipment in the manner for which they were intended. They also expect that all employees take proper care of all tools, equipment, and the work environment. Lost, stolen or broken tools or wasteful practices with supplies and materials cost the company money.
You are expected to use all tools and equipment in the laboratory in a safe manner and in a manner that protects tools and equipment from unnecessary wear, tear, or damage. Similarly, you are expected to use the materials and supplies that are provided by the college in a manner that does not result in unnecessary waste. You are also expected to leave the laboratory area in a clean and orderly condition.
Theft is a serious violation of the rules of San Bernardino Valley College will not be tolerated. If theft is suspected, a report will be filed promptly, by the instructor with the Campus Police.
