General and Course Learning Outcomes


Every course at Parkland College has specific learning outcomes that are identified in a Course
Information Form (CIF). You are welcome to ask your instructor or department chair for a copy of the
CIF. Course learning objectives should also be found in your specific course syllabus.
Attendance
If you must miss class, please let your instructor know. Every instructor has their own attendance
policy, and you should read the syllabus for each of your classes to know the rules. Only your
instructors can decide whether an absence is excused. They also will decide if you can turn in late
work or make up work.

Extended Absence from Classes


If you are absent for more than one day due to an emergency, accident, illness or hospitalization, you
or your family need to contact the Office of the Dean of Students at [email protected] or
submit this Absence Form (https://cm.maxient.com/reportingform.php?ParklandCollege&layout_ id=2)

approved, your instructors can help you keep up with your course work.

Academic Honesty
It is your job as a student to be honest and do your own work. If an instructor believes that a student
has cheated, they will take steps listed in the Student Policies and Procedures Manual. If a student is
accused of cheating or academic dishonesty they have the right to defend themselves.

Some Examples of Academic Dishonesty:

Copying someone else’s work or allowing your work to be copied


Using someone else's work as your own
Getting help on an assignment or test when it is not allowed

View the Student Handbook (https://www.parkland.edu/Main/About-Parkland/Administration/Dean-


of-Students/Student-Handbook) and Conduct Code (https://www.parkland.edu/Main/About-
Parkland/Administration/Dean-of-Students/Parkland-College-Student-Conduct-Code) for the full
Academic Honesty policy.

AI - Artificial Intelligence
Before using AI tools such as ChatGPT, ask your faculty if and how these tools may be used in your
coursework. Your work should be your own and individual instructors will set different rules for the use
of AI.
Email
Parkland College uses email as an official means of communication. All Parkland students are issued
an official Parkland email account which should be used for instruction, instructional support, advising,
and all college-related correspondence. Faculty will communicate with students through their
Parkland email addresses and are not expected to use students' personal email addresses. Parkland
College faculty and students have the right to send communications via email and expect those
communications to be read in a timely fashion.

Parkland email users are expected to comply with and are subject to all Federal, State, and College
rules, regulations, and procedures when using email. Users are responsible for safeguarding their
username and password and for using them only as authorized. Sharing email accounts and/or
passwords with another person or attempting to obtain access to another person's account is
prohibited. Each user is responsible for all email transactions made under the authorization of his or
her Parkland email username. Confidentiality or privacy of electronic mail cannot be guaranteed.
Messages sent through the Parkland email system should be respectful in tone and language.

Health and Safety Expectations in the Classroom


Parkland College is working to keep students, faculty, and staff safe and healthy. Students are
encouraged to decide for themselves if they want to wear masks or not. No one is required to wear a
mask, and everyone should respect the individual's right to decide what is best for them. We
recommend that all members of the campus community practice good hand hygiene and work with
faculty to keep up with coursework if illness makes coming to campus difficult.

Names and Pronouns


Students have the option to inform Parkland College of their chosen first name. The chosen first name
will appear on the class roster as well as within other campus systems. Please see the chosen name
information (https://www.parkland.edu/Main/About-Parkland/Department-Office-
Directory/Admissions-Records/Chosen-Name-Policy) on our website for more information and to
submit a request to add or change a chosen name. Students are also able to indicate their preferred
pronouns on the same form as the chosen name request form. If you have questions about the
process, contact Admissions and Records at [email protected].

Withdrawal from a Class Section


Once you sign up for a course, you will remain in the course until you ask to be removed, or an
instructor withdraws you.

In the first week of a class session, you may drop the class with no record and you will receive a full
refund of tuition and fees.

At the end of the first week of class, instructors check attendance. If you have not been to class or
participated in class activities during the first week, you will be removed from the class by your
instructor. In online classes, just logging in is not considered attending. Your instructor should provide
some assignment or activity due in the first week of class that confirms attendance. It is important that
you complete that activity in the first week to avoid being withdrawn. There will be no refund of your
tuition and a grade of W will be given.

After the first week of class, if you want to stop taking a class it is your responsibility to withdraw
yourself from the class. However, if you are failing a course due to violations of the academic honesty
policy or failing a clinical course in a Health Professions program, you may not be permitted to
withdraw. See the appropriate division dean if you have questions.

Until the mid-term (half-way) point of a class, your instructor may remove you from the class if you
stop attending for two or more weeks. This can happen even if you do not wish to stop being in the
class. This means that there will be a W entered as your course grade. If you miss two weeks of
assignments or postings in an online class, your instructor may decide that you have stopped
attending. It is important to stay in touch with your instructor if you are unable to attend or are falling
behind in your work.

After the half-way point in the class only you can remove yourself from a class. If you stop attending,
but do not ask to be withdrawn from a class, you will be given the grade that you earned in the class.

The last date for students to withdraw with a "W" is 5 p.m. on the last business day prior to the last
week of instruction.

Below is all the information, due dates, and forms you need for dropping or withdrawing from Summer
2025 classes depending on the start and end dates of the course.

Recording in the Classroom


Students who wish to record classroom or other learning activities must ask for permission from the
instructor. Even if you have permission to record classroom learning activities, those recordings are
only for your personal study and review and may not be used for any other reason.

Students with disabilities who have an approved recording accommodation through Accessibility
Services may record classroom and learning activities. Permission for recording of classroom learning
activities is given solely for the student's personal study and review and may not be used for any other
purposes.
Title IX - Sexual Harassment, Violence, and Sex-Based
Misconduct
We are committed to providing a safe and productive educational environment for all students. To
meet this commitment and to comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and
guidance from the Office of Civil Rights, the college requires faculty members to report incidents of
sexual harassment, violence, and sex-based misconduct shared by students to the college's Title IX
coordinator, Vice President for Student Services, Dr. Michael Trame. The only exceptions to the faculty
member's reporting obligation are when incidents of sexual harassment, violence, and sex-based
misconduct are communicated by a student during a classroom discussion, in a writing assignment for
a class, or as part of a college-approved research project. Faculty members are required to report
sexual violence or any other abuse of a minor (any person under 18 years of age) to the Illinois
Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS).

Information regarding the reporting of sexual harassment, violence, and sex-based misconduct and
the resources that are available to victims of sexual harassment, violence, and sex-based misconduct
is available at Title IX Sex-Based Misconduct (https://parkland.edu/Main/About-Parkland/Safe-
Campus-Procedures/Title-IX-Harassment-Discrimination).

Title IX - Pregnancy
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 provides pregnant students with certain rights regarding
their education. For more information, please click Pregnancy Support
