Positive Learning Environment/ Universal Design

At Chattahoochee Tech we strive to create a positive learning environment that is
accessible to all students and that promotes engagement and learning.

This course has been designed so that it is compliant with Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act. Where content cannot not be rendered accessible, alternate
accessible versions of the content are provided. Should you find any content or
Blackboard components in this course that are not accessible to you, please notify the
instructor immediately. It is the goal of everyone at Chattahoochee Technical College

Statement about Email and Online Etiquette

When communicating via email, students should follow guidelines for professional
email etiquette. These guidelines include maintaining a polite tone, using a greeting
(Such as: Dear Professor Smith) and a closing (such as: Thank you for your time),
providing a short, informative subject line that includes your course name/ number
(Such as: WELD 1000 – question about quiz 1), keeping the email short and
understanding when the information you need to convey would be better
communicated in another way (Such as a phone call or visit during an instructor’s
office hours).

Observe the same guidelines when participating in all aspects of the online course
environment.

Proctored Event Statement

Chattahoochee Technical College takes steps to guarantee those enrolled in online
courses complete their own work and that the students registered are the ones
completing this work (see Distance Learning Student Privacy Procedure). All online
courses require secure login to gain entry to the courses. Students are encouraged to
2

never share online user IDs or login passwords with anyone. Instructors may also use
additional technologies to verify the identity and/or work of online students. All
online courses at Chattahoochee Tech require students to attend at least one
proctored event in the presence of the instructor in a traditional classroom or in a
monitored, restricted online environment. Proctored sites are often posted with the
schedule of classes, and online students are notified of these events the week classes
begin. Students who cannot attend scheduled proctored events, or who require
additional technology, are responsible for making alternative arrangements, and
those must be approved by the instructor before the proctored events.

Student Support Services to help you succeed

Student Email Account/ Methods of Communicating

Upon being admitted to the College, Chattahoochee Tech will create a unique email
account for each student. Once created, email will be the primary and official means
of communication between the college and the student. Students should not use
personal email addresses for correspondence with the College.

In emergencies or for other limited circumstances, the College may use a student’s
personal email address for correspondence.

In addition, CTC has introduced Multi-factor Authentication as part of our ongoing

security initiative by making it more difficult for hackers to gain access to our systems
with login credentials obtained by phishing, guessing, or theft. Hackers have a wider
array of new technology and techniques that can be combined with a limited pool of
passwords that most people use for multiple accounts which increase vulnerability.

More information about Student email, including instructions for multi-factor

authentication, is located on the CTC web page.
2

CTC students also have access to Microsoft 365 for students, which includes cloud
storage (OneDrive).

Library/ Information Resources

The Library strives to provide all students with robust access to reliable, authoritative
information and help them with all their research needs. Libraries are located on all
campuses that offer credit-bearing courses. Library hours and locations are available
on the Library Website.

The library participates in GALILEO, an initiative of the Board of Regents of the

University System of Georgia. GALILEO is an online library portal to authoritative,
subscription-only information that is not available through free search engines or
web directories.

The library participates in TechShare, a universal borrowing program across all

Technical College System of Georgia Libraries.  This program allows Chattahoochee
Technical College employees and students to request materials be delivered to them
at any Chattahoochee Tech library or borrow materials directly from these libraries
using their current Chattahoochee Technical College photo ID. 

Open Computer Labs

Computers for general use by CTC students are provided either in a separate lab or in
conjunction with the Library or Success Centers.  Students will need a current,
validated student ID card to use the labs.  For information on location of computer
labs and hours of operation, visit the Success Center Computer Labs and
the Library section of the college website. Student printing is monitored at
Chattahoochee Technical College, and prints may require an additional cost to
students depending on usage. For more information, visit the Student Printing page
of the catalog.
Student Printing Policy
Chattahoochee Technology College provides printing resources in support of
research and education with the use of computers and other instructional devices. To
become more environmentally friendly, CTC imposes printing limits on materials
printed by students. Each enrolled credit student will have a set number of free prints,
2

with the ability to purchase additional prints when the initial allocation is exhausted.
Complete Student Printing Policy can be found in the Chattahoochee Tech Catalog.

Academic Success Centers

Academic Success Centers are available at all campuses for Chattahoochee Technical
College students except the Austell Campus.  Academic Success Centers provide a
hybrid model of remote and on-campus tutoring services.  Tutoring is free to current
Chattahoochee Technical College students and available primarily in Accounting,
Economics, English, Math, Reading, and most Sciences.  Tutoring in other subjects
may be arranged depending upon availability of tutors. 

Online tutoring will be available via Microsoft Teams platform. Visit your Blackboard

Counseling Services and Student Advocacy

Chattahoochee Technical College provides students with a wide range of counseling

and supportive services that focus on helping students with educational, personal and
career concerns. Counseling combines a professional relationship and growth process
that empowers diverse individuals and groups to accomplish mental health, wellness,
education, and career goals during one's educational journey. The staff provides
individual counseling and group therapy as it relates to the educational experience,
grief and loss, stress management, depression, anxiety, and other mental
health/wellness assistance. Services are provided through face-to-face office sessions
or tele-mental health via secure video or phone.
2

Counseling offices are located on the North Metro and Marietta campus locations.

Our mission is to provide self-help strategies that promote student success in post-
secondary education. Our goal is to empower students to seek a well-balanced,
healthy lifestyle with positive perspective and optimal coping skills to reach full
potential. When appropriate, students will be referred to community agencies and/or
other resources to give them every opportunity to receive the help they need. 

Counseling Services also provides mental health webinars, workshops, and awareness
activities each term on many campus locations.

Counseling and Student Advocacy also provides a student advocate to assist students
in resolving difficult or complicated situations where they need an individual to help
guide them through processes of student conduct, academic misconduct, and other
related situations. The student advocate acts in the best interest of the students and
strives to meet their needs by collaborating with other staff and faculty, imparting
information on the college's policies and procedures, and seeking opportunities to
resolve issues. 

To request assistance, students should consult the Counseling Services and Student
Advocacy website.

TEAMS Early Alert System

Chattahoochee Technical College has implemented an early alert system to help
students be successful in their academic endeavors. The early alert system, named
TEAMS, will allow instructors to submit an alert when they identify any one of three
areas of concern-- Attendance issues, Academic preparedness, or Personal hardships.
Alerts are not punitive and do not affect students’ grades or standing within a given
course.

College Information you need to know

Academic Misconduct

Chattahoochee Technical College promotes and expects all members of the college
community to conduct themselves professionally and with honesty and integrity. The
college considers academic integrity an integral part of the learning environment.
2

Any infraction of this policy is detrimental to the student's education and the
integrity of the college. Cases of academic misconduct that are strictly forbidden
include:

 Plagiarizing any assignment or part of an assignment. Plagiarizing means to

use someone else’s ideas or words as one’s own, without giving appropriate
credit using quotation marks, if necessary, and citing the source(s).

 Copying and submitting another’s work as one’s own.

 Using unauthorized notes or equipment (programmable calculator, PDA, cell

phone, etc.) during an examination.

 Stealing an examination or using a stolen examination for any purpose.

 Allowing another student to have access to your work, thereby enabling that
student to represent the work as his/her own.

 Having someone else take a quiz or exam in one’s place, taking an exam for
someone else, assisting someone in any way during a quiz or exam, or using
any unauthorized electronic device or other unauthorized method of
support during a quiz or exam.

 Falsifying or fabricating information such as data for a lab report.

 Falsifying a patient’s medical record, a student’s clinical record, or any other

student record, including a record of attendance.

 Using or copying another person’s electronic file or copying any electronic

information or computer program.

 Other forms of cheating or misconduct are forbidden, even if not listed here
specifically.

Instructors may use any one or more of the following disciplinary measures for
addressing instances of academic misconduct:

1. Award a grade of zero for the assignment;

2. Assign a failing grade for the course;
2

3. Recommend the suspension or dismissal of the student from the course,

program, or college. Recommendation must be forwarded to initiate a
Student Code of Conduct procedure.

These actions also violate the college's Student Code of Conduct and will be subject
to the Student Judicial Review Process.

Work Ethics
Chattahoochee Technical College instructs and evaluates students on work ethics in
all programs of study. Ten work ethics traits are defined as essential for student
success: Appearance, Attendance, Attitude, Character, Communication, Cooperation,
Organizational Skills, Productivity, Respect, and Teamwork. The definitions for these
traits have been integrated into the program standards of each program curriculum
thereby allowing each program to make work ethics a relevant and meaningful part
of the program curriculum. The traits are assessed before the student graduates from
the program.

No Show

A “no show” is a student whose name appears on the class roster but who fails
to have his or her attendance verified the first week of class.

In all courses, regardless of the method of delivery (face-to-face, hybrid, or online),

faculty will conduct a graded activity the first week of class in order to verify student
attendance.  This graded activity will document the student’s intent to take the
course.  Any student not completing the graded activity will be reported as a “no-
show” regardless of his or her attendance in the classroom.  Any student reported as
a “no show” by an instructor will be administratively withdrawn from the course and
will show no enrollment history.

Withdrawal Policy and Procedure

Through the end of the ninth week of fall and spring semesters and through the fifth
week of summer semester, a student may withdraw from any or all courses on his or
her schedule. Students are responsible for withdrawing themselves from any or all of
the classes through BannerWeb.  Following the policy that is set by the Technical
2

College System of Georgia, withdrawals that occur after day 3 of the semester receive
no refund. No charges are reduced for withdrawals that occur beginning day 4 of the
semester.

No withdrawals will be processed after the ‘W’ period ends as defined on the
academic calendar for the applicable term. Students who choose to not withdraw
from classes will be assigned the grade(s) earned.

Any student receiving federal student aid (Pell, SEOG, etc.) who completely withdraws
from all classes during a given period of enrollment and completes less than 60
percent of the term (based on the determination of last date of attendance) may be
required to return funds to Chattahoochee Technical College and/or the U.S.
Department of Education.

The deadline for withdrawal each semester is published on the CTC Website under
the College Calendar.

college programs offering a certificate of credit, diploma, or associate's degree as
follows:
The warranty guarantees that the graduate has demonstrated the knowledge and
skills and can perform each competency as identified in the industry-validated

students, faculty, and staff wear masks/face coverings in every instructional setting and
academic support areas: Classrooms, Computer Classrooms, Labs, Offices, Success Centers,
Open Labs, and Libraries.  Students are encouraged to provide their own masks/face
coverings. A student who does not have a mask/face covering will be provided a mask by the
College. Faculty will work with Public Safety and their supervisors to ensure masks are
available for instructional settings.  See further COVID-19 information below.

Any student wishing to request a disability-related accommodation in connection with CTC’s

mask policy should contact Disability Support Services:

Health and Safety Statement: COVID-19

The focus of Chattahoochee Technical College is the health and safety of its students,
faculty, and staff. During the Fall semester, all members of the college community are
required to follow health and safety guidelines as laid out by the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) and College personnel. Because social distancing cannot be
guaranteed, the wearing of masks/face coverings while in classrooms, labs, and
academic support areas on CTC Campuses is strongly recommended.

If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your instructors as early in the
term as possible. All members of the college community are directed to stay at home
