Academic Advising
Student success navigators serve not only as academic advisors but as a student’s academic, financial, and total resource advocate or coach.
Students will have an assigned navigator to meet with for advising and any questions they may have. Navigators will serve as the “go-to” person to help students throughout the college experience.
It is important to know your Student Success Navigator. You may find your Navigator by visiting this website https://www.jccmi.edu/academics/academic-advising/ and click on your pathway. You should also receive an email from your Navigator at the beginning of the semester.
Student Responsibilities
1. Students are expected to utilize McGraw-Hill to meet the course objectives and prepare for a comprehensive final exam.
2.All email must come from your Jackson College assigned email. Other email addresses will not receive a response.
3.Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner and utilize class time efficiently.
4. All assignments are expected to be completed on time. If they are not completed on time you will receive a zero. No make ups will be allowed. Therefore, be sure to have a back-up plan to ensure you are able to complete your work as all assignments must be completed in this course. If all activities are not completed in McGraw-Hill Connect you will not receive a passing grade in this course.
5.Students are expected to participate in class sessions, including but not limited to working in groups with fellow classmates.
Attendance- Participation Policy
Regular class participation and keeping up on the reading and assignments is strongly correlated with survival in college. It is my recommendation that you plan to do your assignments and take your exams BEFORE the last day they are due. If problems occur, there is time to fix them before the deadline.
In compliance with Federal Title IV funding requirements, as well as college initiatives, I will be monitoring student participation on a regular basis and officially reporting student activity throughout the term to assure compliance with college policy and federal regulations. It is imperative that you log in to the course and actively participate within the first couple of days of the term to validate your enrollment in the course. After that, not actively participating in class may result in you being withdrawn from the course. Being withdrawn from a course can have an impact on financial aid, billing, athletic eligibility, and housing status. As a college student you are responsible for how your participation impacts your academic progress; the accountability lies with you.
Caveat
Please note: The format and timing of this course may need to change due to unforeseen circumstances. In particular: school closings, instructor illness, weather, or other situations that may arise. If you are taking an in -person class, you will be required to complete a Reintegration Video Training course in JetNet prior to being admitted to campus. All COVID safety protocols in place are based on current guidelines and will be enforced while students are on campus.
