Online Student
Contract |
|
|
I have read the informational links and course information/syllabus
at the course website (www.college-online.com)
to understand the course requirements and expectations including any minimum
equipment/software needed to access my course online. |
|
I understand that it is my responsibility to use the information provided
at www.college-online.com
to log into my course on the start date of my class, not before. |
|
I am comfortable with the skills needed to succeed in an online course
(logging into
a course with correct username and password, sending emails with attachments;
posting in discussion boards; updating my virus protection software; finding
resources on the Internet; and working with technical support . |
|
If I register late for my class, I will contact the instructor for all
questions and concerns and allow 24 hours for access to the course. |
|
I am responsible for ensuring my computer has adequate virus protection
software and correct browser settings (http://www.college-online.com/help/technical.htm). |
|
I will, at a minimum, login to my online course(s) weekly and will meet
the additional participation requirements as provided by the instructor
of my online course(s). |
|
I will order my books, software and any other required items for online
course(s) in a timely matter, so that I have received them by the first
day of class. |
|
I know that, if a course is offered in an accelerated format, the time
necessary to achieve the course learning outcomes will be greater than
that required for a traditional class. |
|
I will inform my instructor of absences that I anticipate over the duration
of my course(s). |
|
Should I decide to drop my online course(s), I understand it is my responsibility
to do so using WebAdvisor or to contact Student Records at 864-250-8115. |
|
I will communicate to my instructor, my advisor, or the GTC Student
Records office if I decide to drop my online course(s). |
|
I agree to use language appropriate to an academic setting in my online
discussion postings, chats and emails related to my online course. |
|
I understand that information exchanged among students in my online
course should be considered confidential and not shared outside of the
online course. |
|
I understand some of my publicly submitted course postings or comments
will be seen or re-used for other students to see. |
|
If I have any questions or need clarification of the assignments or
course content, I will contact my instructor. |
|
I understand I must attend (if applicable) any required in-person activities.
If in-person exams are required, I will attend on the dates, times and
locations indicated OR as an out-of-area student complete a Proctor Agreement
form to have the examinations administered at a designated examination
site. |
|
I understand that delay in completing any assignments or exams on scheduled
dates, even though approved, may result in a delay in official transcript
reporting.
In the event that I do not keep up with course assignments and activities,
I understand I will need to file an official drop request prior to the
final withdrawal date to avoid receiving a failing grade in the course.
|
|
I understand that ANY computer with Internet access (including GTC campus
computers) can be used to continue coursework and “home computers”
being serviced will not be accepted as a reason for not completing coursework,
tests, or assignments. |
|
I understand that if I use on campus computers, I must adhere to the Policy on Student Use of Computing Facilities. |
|
I understand that if I have a verifiable disability, e.g. physical,
communication, learning, acquired brain injury, psychological or other
disability, and I am requesting an accommodation; it is my responsibility
to make such a request. Request can be make by contacting the Special
Needs Office at 864-250-8176 or 864-250-8408. |
