Curriculum Courses Syllabi

Faculty are responsible for distributing syllabi to students in each class, preferably on the first day. These syllabi should be delivered electronically using the college learning information system. At that time, they should ensure that an up-to-date copy is available on the administrative server. Faculty are contractually responsible for adhering to the core syllabus, only changing it if advances in knowledge dictate a change in content. All members of a discipline area and the academic dean of that area must agree with the changes. Faculty should also keep the changes in the syllabus addendum to a minimum and notify students orally and in writing as soon as practicable when circumstances dictate a change in any item in the addendum.
An outline for a model syllabus follows. All syllabi should be in this general format and should include every subheading shown in the model except for those sections judged to be inappropriate for a particular class by the faculty member. Faculty are responsible for adding an addendum that contains information specific to that course. The addendum may contain, but not be limited to, such items as the title of the required text(s), a listing of other required material, the instructor’s specific attendance and lateness policy, a schedule of class topics, a schedule of class tests and examinations (with dates, if needed), a listing of due dates for specific assignments, and any other information the instructor wants the students to have to be successful in the course.


Under Required Text in the core syllabus, the following should appear: See Course Addendum.


Under Supplemental Resources, the following should appear after any information common to all classes: See course Addendum for additional supplemental resources.


Faculty should carefully review syllabi prior to distribution each semester to ensure that all syllabi are complete, accurate, and up-to-date.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

 

GENERAL EDUCATION AT SOUTHEASTERN
General education is the part of students' education that assures that all graduates with a degree or diploma receive an appropriately broad and in-depth exposure to knowledge not specifically related to a narrow field of study.

General education is an essential part of all degrees and diplomas at Southeastern Community College. Each degree or diploma meets general education outcomes (competencies) at a level appropriate for that degree or diploma, either at college level, degree level, or transfer level.

Almost all courses contribute in some way to students having the necessary exposure to develop competency in the general education outcomes developed by the college faculty. All courses used to assess general education outcomes are required in the specific degree or diploma.

The college Catalog contains a broader discussion of general education and lists the specific outcomes students must exhibit.

Learning outcomes in this course that relate to the college general education outcomes are indicated by the letters GE after the outcome.

GRADING CRITERIA

STUDENT ACCESS TO INSTRUCTORS
Instructor’s office hours will appear on an addendum to this syllabus.
However, generally full-time faculty members will post office hours to inform students of their availability for interaction and academic assistance. Part-time faculty members will notify students of and provide for their availability outside of class. Students may call the College at (910) 642-7141 and speak with an instructional assistant to schedule appointments with instructors.

STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Southeastern Community College does not discriminate on the basis of disabilities. Students who require reasonable accommodations for a disability should notify the instructor of the course within the first week of the semester.

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
A student may be removed from class for excessive absences provided that (1) the student has previously received a warning notice about excessive absences (either oral or written), and (2) the number accumulated absences exceeds the number of credit hours of the course. Once dropped for excessive absences, a student may not be permitted to reenter the class unless written permission is given by the instructor.
A student who misses class due to participation in an official college function must notify the instructor prior to the absence. (An official college function is one that has been approved by the appropriate college vice president.) Under normal circumstances, the absence should not result in the student’s total absences exceeding the maximum allowed by the course syllabus. If, however, the absence would result in a violation of the class attendance policy, then the student must obtain written approval from the class instructor in order to be eligible to participate in the official college function.
The instructor may have additional attendance requirements; if so, they will be attached to the general course syllabus.
