COURSE POLICIES

Academic Honesty

Faculty who suspect violation of academic honesty, cheating, plagiarism, collusion, or abuse of resource materials may assign an academic penalty.

Incidents of academic dishonesty are a violation of the Student Code of Conduct. An academic appeal process is afforded to students who desire to dispute a grade or any decision that affects the student's ability to complete and earn a grade for the course provided it is not related to a violation outlined in the LSCO Student Code of Conduct, including academic dishonesty.



Electronic Communication

LSCO students are required to use either their LSCO Blackboard account or their LSCO email account (Office 365 / Microsoft Outlook) for all electronic communication. In order to ensure the privacy and identity of the student communicating via electronic methods, LSCO faculty will direct students to use their LSCO email accounts rather than personal accounts. If a student has trouble accessing their LSCO email account, they should contact the LSCO Help Desk at (409) 882-3033 or helpdesk@lsco.edu.




Attendance Requirements

Federal regulations require students who receive financial aid to have begun "attending" and participate substantially in each course for which they are enrolled on or before the official census reporting date outlined on the LSCO Academic Calendar. Students documented as "not attending" a course upon the census date are assumed (for financial aid purposes) to have not begun attendance for that course, negatively affecting their financial aid eligibility and disbursement.

Attendance in an ONLINE course is verified by substantial participation in the course on or before the census date published in the LSCO Academic Calendar. Substantial participation in this online course is defined as logging in and completing/participating in at least one requirement of the course. Note: Simply logging in to your online course does not constitute attendance.

Hybrid classes are a mix of face-to-face and online environments. Students will be expected to attend a certain number of classes as required by the instructor. (Include the policy on absences and tardiness.) In addition to classroom attendance, your weekly active participation in the online component (Blackboard and/or homework software) will be considered and expected.

Students are required to attend all class times within the course. The Texas Department of State Health Services requires a certain number of hours in a course to receive a course completion certificate in all EMS level programs. Students who are absent more than 12 hours
in a course will be required to have a conference with their instructor. Students consistently tardy will be required to have a conference with the instructor and course coordinator.
Students continuously absent and/or tardy will not be placed on the course completion roster for the National Registry Certification Exam.
Students are encouraged to attend all classes and labs. If an absence occurs, it is the student’s responsibility to obtain the material covered. After the second absence, the student must schedule a conference with the instructor.



Make-up Work Policy

When students are ill or unable to attend clinical, they must call two hours prior to the scheduled time of the clinical. Students must notify both the clinical coordinator and the clinical site of the absences. The first absence will constitute a verbal warning. The second
incident will be a written warning and the third incident will result in dismissal from the program. The DSHS requires that students have a certain number of clinical hours



Classroom Etiquette



All students enrolled in the clinical portion of the EMS program will receive a copy of the LSC-O EMS Student Handbook. All of the rules and regulations within the handbook are to be followed while a student is at the clinical site.

The student must wear the approved LSC-O EMS program uniform when participating in any clinical rotation. The student also must bring with them the appropriate equipment and paperwork for the clinical rotation.
The approved list includes:
• Approved LSC-O EMS program uniform shirt.
• Approved EMS style uniform pants.
• Black belt with no designs or jewelry attached
• Black closed toe EMS boot (slip on or lace up). Steel toe is optional
• Name tag (student ID) attached to shirt correctly (Provided by LSCO)
• Stethoscope
• Medic shearsInk pen (black ink only)
• Note pad that is capable of being carried in a pocket
• Clinical forms
• Folder or clipboard to keep paperwork is optional, but highly recommended

The student will arrive to the clinical site at least 15 (fifteen) minutes prior to shift start time. TARDINESS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

Unprofessional behavior will not be tolerated at the clinical rotation sites. This includes, but is
not limited to:
• Unprofessional comments
• Unprofessional appearance
• Actions which reflect poorly upon the student/LSC-O
• Unfavorable reports from the clinical preceptors

Exam Policy

Students are expected to show up on time and record pertinent information required by their instructors. The preceptor completes student evaluations. If a student is having a problem, the student should contact the instructor immediately. If the student receives a poor evaluation
from the preceptor, the instructor will have a documented conference with the student. A student that receives a F for the clinical semester does have the opportunity to repeat the clinical course ONE TIME ONLY. Students that receive a D or an F again will not be eligible for inclusion on a Course Completion Roster for their certification with DSHS. Grades will be determined by the completion of the patient care reports. You will get a grade of
satisfactory or unsatisfactory



Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Students should use AI technology responsibly and ethically. This includes refraining from using AI to engage in harmful or unethical activities, such as generating false information, spreading misinformation, or engaging in malicious behaviors. The use of AI should align with the principles of academic integrity, honesty, and respect for others. Students are responsible for adhering to LSCO's Academic Honesty policy found in the Student Handbook. LSCO's full AI policy can be found at AI Policy | Lamar State College Orange (lsco.edu)


Expected Time Requirement for this Course

For every hour in class (or unit of credit) taught in a 16-week session, students should expect to spend at least two to three hours per week studying and completing assignments. Example: For a 3-credit hour class taught in a 16-week session, students should prepare to allocate approximately 6 to 9 hours per week outside of class studying and completing assignments. For a 3-credit hour taught in a 10-week summer session, students should prepare to allocate approximately 10 to 15 hours per week outside of class studying and completing assignments. For a 3-credit hour taught in an 8-week session, students should prepare to allocate approximately 12 to 18 hours per week outside of class studying and completing assignments. For a 3-credit hour taught in a 5-week summer session, students should prepare to allocate approximately 20 to 29 hours per week outside of class studying and completing assignments.


Grading and Evaluation Method

 A = 90 - 100%, B = 80 - 89, C = 70 - 79, D = 60 - 69, F = Below 60

Instructor Response Time

The instructor will respond to emails within 24 hours, excluding weekends and holidays. On weekends and holidays, the instructor will respond to emails from students within 24 hours of the first business day following the weekend or holiday.


Participation Requirements

At the AEMT level (Clinical II) the student must complete two (2) run reports per 12-hour shift and a student evaluation of preceptor form for each 12-hour shift worked. Students must have 6 documented trauma runs by the end of the semester. Students must turn in their
documentation within one week of completion of the clinical to the Clinical Coordinator. If paperwork is not turned in on time, a grade of zero (0) will be recorded for each 12-hour shift. Graded paperwork will be available for pickup by the student within 1 week from the time it
was received by the instructor. It is the student’s responsibility to pick up paperwork from the instructor.


A simple breakdown of paperwork required:
• Ambulance requires 120 hours. Equivalent to 10/ 12-hour shifts. 2 run reports per shift equals to 20 run reports, plus 1 student evaluation of preceptor equals to 10 evaluation forms for the semester.
• Hospital requires 36 hours. Equivalent to 3/12-hour shifts. 2 run reports per shift equals to 6 run reports, plus 1 student evaluation of preceptor equals 3 evaluation forms for the semester.

All run report and evaluation forms must have dates and times that match the schedule as well as the preceptor’s signature on the run reports.

If a student wishes to add/change a clinical date, it may be submitted on the first class day of each week during the semester. The students must complete the clinical request form and turn it in to the clinical coordinator. If the clinical coordinator is not in the office when a request is turned in, ti may be placed under the office door. If a clinical date for the upcoming weekend is turned in after hours on the last class day of the week it will be refused. All facilities must receive proper notification prior to the student showing up for clinical rotations.

If a student shows up to a clinical site without being scheduled, the facility immediately notifies the clinical coordinator. The student will be sent home from the clinical site.

If a clinical rotation produces no runs for that shift, another shift must be completed in order to make up for the run sheets needed. One run sheet should be filled out by the student and submitted to the instructor to show that the student was present at the clinical site.

All clinical paperwork must be turned prior to the FINAL EXAM. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!! If
paperwork is not turned in, the student’s grade will be averaged without the missing
paperwork



Review of Test Grades

If the student has an issue with his/her grade, the instructor must be contacted no later than three (3) days after receiving the grade

Civility

Please be considerate of other classmates' feelings, ethnic background, cultural differences, situations, and level of maturity. Students will be asked to leave the course if disruptive or inappropriate behavior is exhibited in any of the course requirements. If your instructor feels that you have not contributed appropriately to course requirements, your final course grade may be reduced accordingly.

The College provides many opportunities for using computer equipment, as do many public libraries. Refer to the LSCO website for operational hours of the Library and Success Center.


Credit Transfer

Students should check in advance with the institution to which they plan to transfer credit to confirm transferability. Refer to the LSCO Catalog for details on how to handle and resolve transfer disputes with public institutions of higher education in Texas.


Criminal Background Policy

LSCO awards some certificates and degrees in which a criminal history MAY disqualify candidates from becoming licensed, certified, and/or employed upon degree/certificate completion. Students with a criminal background enrolling in courses leading to a degree/certificate in Court Reporting, Criminal Justice, Cosmetology, Emergency Medical Technology, Massage Therapy, Medical Assisting, Vocational Nursing (VN), Registered Nursing (RN), Pharmacy Technician, Real Estate, or Teacher Preparation program are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to discuss the certification and/or licensing regulations of the program with the program director listed in order to learn more about the current guidelines related to criminal history as well as the right of individuals to request a criminal history evaluation letter.


Drops and Withdrawals

Never attending or ceasing to attend classes DOES NOT constitute a drop or withdrawal. You remain registered until you request a drop from the instructor. Failure to act in a timely manner will result in an "F" grade for the course. It is the student's responsibility to follow up with the LSCO advising office to ensure that all drops/withdrawals are processed as desired.


Grade of "Incomplete"

The grade of "I" may be given when any requirement of the course, including the final examination, is not completed. Students seeking an incomplete should have completed at least 75% of the course requirements and be passing the course at the time of the request. Arrangements to complete deficiencies in a course should be made in advance of the end of the semester with the instructor. The instructor will process the Incomplete form online, and a confirmation will be sent to the student's LSCO email.

Incomplete work must be finished during the next long semester. If not, the Office of Admission and Records must change the "I" grade to the grade of "F." The course must then be repeated if credit is desired. An "I" grade also automatically becomes an "F" if the student registers for the course prior to removing the deficiencies and receiving a grade change. The instructor may record the grade of "F" for a student who is absent from the final examination and is not passing the course.


Grade Appeals (Complaints Related to Earned Grades)

Grade determination and awarding of grades in a course are the responsibility of the instructor and should be calculated according to college policy, procedures, and written details provided in the course syllabus. NOTE: Final grades are available to students within 48 hours of the instructor posting the grade in Banner. Students may view final grades by logging into MyGator and then accessing Gator Self-Service.

An academic appeal process is afforded to students who desire to dispute a grade or any decision that affects the student's ability to complete and earn a grade for the course provided it is not related to a violation outlined in the LSCO Student Code of Conduct. If an informal conference with the faculty member regarding an academic complaint fails to reach the outcome requested by the student, the student may initiate the formal process outlined below. Even after initiating the formal complaint process, students are encouraged to seek informal resolution of their concerns. A student whose concerns are resolved may withdraw a formal complaint at any time.

Refer to the current catalog or for details on the formal grade appeal process.
