Heald Policy Reminders

Heald College policies can be found in the Heald Academic Catalog. Please review the reminders below and, if needed, refer to the Academic Catalog for complete policy details.

  • Attendance

Policies and standards at HealdCollege prepare graduates to meet the demands of future employers. Attendance is considered in the evaluation of each student’s performance when making recommendations to employers.

Students are required to attend all classes on required attendance days and are expected to be ready for class at the scheduled time. Students who are tardy or leave early may miss graded events that will negatively impact their overall course grade.

A record of attending at least 85% of the scheduled class meetings generally supports student success academically and in the work place.

  • Makeup Policy

Each student has the opportunity to make up one missed in-class graded event this does not include tests. Your instructor will inform you of which graded events fall into this category in this course.

  • Professional Appearance

At Heald College, student professional appearance standards have been established to be at or above those normally required for employment in business, industry, and healthcare in the area. The dress standard helps prepare a student for the workplace and fosters a professional appearance, which is a positive factor in job placement. The professional appearance policy is discussed in the enrollment process and is available in the Academic Affairs office.

Instructor’s Classroom Policies

Honesty: Cheating is unethical and unacceptable. Plagiarism is using information or original wording in a paper without giving credit to the source; it is also unacceptable.

Sharing:People can do their best work when we work together. The best way for you to have a good class is for us to work together. I believe in sharing experiences that relate to the class, and if you participate, the class will be more rewarding.

Cell Phones: Please be considerate and put on vibrate.

Portfolio

A portfolio represents the assembly of – and reflection upon – the depth and breadth of learning that has taken place at HealdCollege during your program of study. It can be used during the job interview process to highlight the skills and knowledge gained throughout your education.

You should start saving key assignments from each class in your first quarter at HealdCollege. You will select those documents that best highlight your skill development throughout your time at Heald. In general, the portfolio should contain evidence of learning related to your program’s outcomes including written communication, business, computer and keyboarding skills, as well as interpersonal skills and teamwork. Consult with your instructor on strategies for collecting evidence.

We recommend creating both an electronic and paper storage system and storing evidence as you complete each course in your program. You can create a folder in your P: drive titled “Portfolio” in which to place portfolio documents. You can also buy a two-inch binder and start saving paper copies of your work.
