The student will access the class site in the following manner:

• Go to: http://dl.tccd.edu and select the "Virtual Classrooms (Log In)" link.
• Enter the username and password on this page.
• Your username will be in the format of firstname.lastname and your password will be the first initial of your last name and the last four digits of your Colleague ID number. For example, if George Washington were a student with a Colleague ID number of 1234567, his username would be george.washington and his password would be w4567.
  
  Please note that if you are a returning student or have a common name, you may have a number following your username. These usernames will follow this format: john.smith2 or jane.erye3. Please try firstname.lastname first; if it is not successful then try firstname.lastname2 or firstname.lastname3.
• Students may change their password by clicking "Edit User Profile" on the left side of the screen and choosing "Change Password" at the top of the next screen.
• Students should not share their passwords with other students as quizzes and e-mails can be sent with that information. You are responsible for anything submitted using your username and password.

All e-mail will be sent to the student's distance learning e-mail account (username@dl.tccd.edu). It is the student's responsibility to frequently check e-mail sent to that account. Students who fail to check e-mail on a regular basis risk missing important class announcements, instructions, and assignments. There are two ways to check e-mail:

• use the Webmail link on the class web site to check for class e-mail;
• have e-mail forwarded to another email account.

All Internet faculty have committed to reading and responding to e-mail messages at least five days per week, typically within twenty-four hours. Please note, requests for assistance with technical issues should be directed to the Help Desk at help@dl.tccd.edu and not the course instructor. James.Dang@dl.tccd.edu

1. Student must read all lessons and assignments.
2. Student must complete and submit (use notepad or Microsoft Word documents) all assignments by the due dates.

Distance Learning students have access to all TCCD student support programs, services, and activities, as well as all academic support services. These services include counseling, advising, library and learning information resources, and general and discipline-specific computer labs. Some services are available online while others are only available on campus. More information regarding these resources and services can be found in the “Student Services” area of this Web site. A Student Handbook, which addresses student rights and responsibilities, and the College’s Policy and Regulation Manual, are also linked on this site.

All withdrawals must be initiated by the student. Students may withdraw from any course on or before Saturday, April 12, online through http://wa.tccd.edu, or by contacting the campus Registrar’s Office in person. It is strongly suggested that students withdrawing in person request a receipt. Students who withdraw online are responsible for verifying that their electronic drop processing was completed by printing a copy of their unofficial transcript or student schedule showing the grade of W. Until a student is officially withdrawn, the student remains on the class roll and may receive a grade of F for the course. Students who are unable to withdraw in person or electronically may mail or fax a letter to the registrar specifying class(es) from which the withdrawal(s) is/are requested. The letter or fax must include the student’s name, Colleague ID number, date and class information along with the student’s signature. If mailed, the request for withdrawal must be postmarked on or before the last day to drop, or if faxed, the date shown on the fax confirmation must be on or before the last day to drop a class. State Withdrawal Policy - Important Section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code, enacted by the State of Texas, Spring 2007, applies to students who enroll in a public institution of higher education as a first time freshman in Fall 2007 or later. The College may not permit a student to drop more than six courses, including those taken at another Texas public institution of higher education. All courses dropped after the Official Day of Record are included in the six-course limit unless (1) the student withdraws from all courses or (2) the drop is authorized by an appropriate College official as an approved Drop Exception. Further information on the new withdrawal policy can be found at the TCCD Web site: http://www.tccd.edu.

TCC has the responsibility and authority to formulate and enforce rules of student conduct that are appropriate and necessary to further the educational goals of the College and its students. Students who enroll must accept responsibility for their behavior and for their ultimate success in higher education. To create a positive climate for learning, TCC expects all students to abide by a Code of Student Behavior. The District Handbook for Students, available at TCCD's Website www.tccd.edu, has full information regarding this. To summarize:

Students must maintain high standards of scholastic honesty. Violations of the TCC Code of Student Behavior include but are not limited to cheating on tests or assignments, plagiarism, and collusion; violence or threats of violence; loud or abusive language; and failure to comply with the direction of College officials and instructors.

Children are not permitted at orientation sessions, seminars, labs, in the viewing areas, or in the Testing Centers. Children are not to be left unattended on college property at any time.

All TCC campuses will be closed Monday, January 21, for the Martin Luther King Day. In addition, all campuses will close for Spring Break March 16 through March 23. In the event of inclement weather, if TCC classes are cancelled, distance learning on-campus orientations, seminars, testing, and laboratories will also be cancelled. Stay tuned to your local radio or television station or go to www.tccd.edu for information on campus closings.
