The locations vary--please check with campus office/campus managers at the campus.

 

The Learning Web
HCC Faculty use the Learning Web, an open academic platform, to create, organize, curate and share their syllabus, CV, instructional materials and resources each semester so that students can access these materials. Go to the Learning Web
THEN
Refer to this page for an example of how the Learning Web can be used.

Your attendance roster is a critical element of classroom management. As an instructor, you are required to document student attendance for each class session. Missing this has severe financial consequences for the college. This topic explains the attendance roster and why it is important.

Information and Demo Video on Taking Course Attendance

 

Deadlines vary each semester and will be sent to you via email.

To learn how to Generate and Approve an Attendance Roster, view this tutorial.

 

Early Alert makes it easier for online faculty to refer "at risk" students to an HCC Online Advisor and/or Counselor as needed. The Early Alert form and instructions are located in PeopleSoft Faculty.

 

Enrollment Authorization
For an enrollment authorization form, please contact your department secretary.

Change of Grade Forms
The grade change forms are located in PeopleSoft Faculty and can be downloaded and completed electronically.

An Attendance addendum form needs to be filled out if a student is dropped from your class although s/he has been attending. The form is available in PeopleSoft Faculty.

Dropping a Student

Drop a student policy:
You are expected to attend class. In accordance with HCCS policy, students with more than 6 hours of absences (4 classes) may be dropped for excessive absence, and a daily record of attendance will be maintained throughout the semester. It is your responsibility to keep updated on course information if you miss class, so please make arrangements to contact other students should this become necessary.

NOTICE: Students who repeat a course for three or more times will face significant tuition/fee increases at HCC and other Texas public colleges and universities. Please ask your instructor or counselor/advisor about opportunities for tutoring and/or other assistance prior to considering course withdrawal or if you are not receiving passing grades

Please ask me or your counselor about opportunities for tutoring or other assistance prior to considering course withdrawal, or if you are not receiving passing grades. In consideration of the above law, I will not give “W” as a grade option unless you have submitted the withdrawal form yourself before the deadline for withdrawal. I will only give whatever grades you earn (A, B, C, D, or F). If you stop attending the class, you need to officially withdraw yourself prior to the withdrawal deadline (Add drop date here). If you do not do so and simply disappear from class, you will receive an “FX” in the course.

For INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS:
Receiving a W in a course may affect the status of your student Visa. Once a W is given for the course (after you have submitted a withdrawal form officially), it will not be changed to an F because of the visa consideration. Please contact the International Student Office at 713-718-8521 or email int_student_svcs@hccs.edu, if you have any questions about your visa status and other transfer issues.

If you need to change a student's final grade after you have recorded your final grades, please use the Change of Grade form from the PeopleSoft Faculty Resources center.

 

Please contact the testing center for hours, policies etc. If a student misses a test or exam, you can schedule a retest in the Testing Center.

HCC Online is a way for students to complete full courses using web-based technologies. Students complete assignments, take tests, and complete all other coursework just as they would in an on-campus class using HCC’s Learning Management System (LMS) called Eagle Online.

Visit HCC Online for more information about teaching online.

 

• You must complete Eagle Online training to receive a shell or sandbox.
• When you complete your training session, you will automatically receive six shells.
• You need a valid HCC email address to register for Canvas training.

the HCC Online Listserv is the interactive email list that is currently in use to discuss HCC Online-related matters. Click here to subscribe.

 

The goal of the Centers for Learning Innovation is to assist faculty with technology in their online courses. Each campus offers a center, and works to foster faculty collaboration through mentorships, provide technical training support for the development of Eagle Online, and to encourage professional development. These labs are for work-related computer projects.
