Advising
Enrollment Advisors are available on campus to assist you in a variety of areas. Enrollment Advisors help with academic advising, Texas Success Initiative requirements, testing, transfer information, crisis intervention and referral, career guidance, testing referrals, stress and worry reduction, decision-making skills, clarifying educational and personal goals, and other problems or concerns that interfere with the attainment of academic, technical, professional or personal goals. Services are free and confidential for students at TC.
Attendance (POLICY) Policy
Students may be dropped from their courses prior to the official census date due to a lack of meaningful academic engagement.
After the official census date, faculty will not drop students for non-attendance or lack of participation, if the student wishes to drop a course, they must initiate this process through their Enrollment Advisor.
For classes that have regularly scheduled/assigned meeting times, regular attendance includes both physical presence and active engagement. A lack of regular attendance prior to the census date includes failure to demonstrate meaningful interaction.
Definition of Meaningful Interaction:
Simply logging into D2L or being physically present does not constitute meaningful interaction.
Examples:
-Submitting graded work
-Participating in discussions
-Completing academic activities
Failure to adhere to attendance policy may impact grades and financial aid, and ability to continue in some programs of study, but will not result in an administrative drop (initiated by faculty) after census.
Students are held liable for their drop count per the Texas Education Code (TEC 51.907), 6 Drop Rule. More information can be found in the Academic Catalog.
Faculty members will maintain an official record of attendance and/or meaningful academic engagement for each course primarily for the purpose of remaining in compliance with federal financial aid regulations. Attendance requirements for some programs may be more stringent than the general policy discussed above as required by program specific accreditation agencies and/or the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB).
Students representing the College in sponsored activities related to credit courses or intercollegiate athletics will not be counted absent or penalized for work missed during their absences; however, they are expected to communicate their absence to their instructors – in advance – and make arrangements for class work that may be missed or due upon return to campus. Faculty/staff sponsoring college related activities will be responsible for notifying the faculty and the Provost/Vice President, Academic Affairs and Student Services of planned absences (including a list of participating students and the dates that they will be absent) one instructional week prior to the event. This policy also applies to high school students taking dual credit courses who must attend ISD-scheduled activities. Students who expect to be absent because of religious holy days should contact the Provost/Vice President, Academic Affairs and Student Services for details concerning Texas Education Code 51.911.
Students who do not show up or complete final exams may be issued a grade of “F” for the course.
Reinstatement
Reinstatement to classes at Temple College is initiated only for the purposes of correcting an institutional error. Students who are dropped by faculty prior to the census date or initiate a drop on their own are not eligible for reinstatement.
Testing
The Testing Center provides a variety of testing and related services to TC students and to the community at large.
Information on Testing locations both at Temple and Hutto campus can be found on the Temple College website. Phone is 254-298-8586. Many of the tests require the payment of a testing fee. Some of these fees are paid directly to the testing company when an individual registers to take the test. Others are paid to Temple College.
