may be transferred or taken at any other Dental Hygiene Program.
General science and education pre and co-requisites must be fulfilled as
listed in the course sequence of the college catalog and program
brochure.
It is the responsibility of the individual student to review prerequisites for
each course prior to registration.
Course Grade Appeal Policy
Bergen Community College’s appeal policy states:
1. A student raising a complaint or concern about a course grade may discuss
the matter with the individual faculty member no later than the first two weeks
of the semester, immediately following receipt of the grade.
2. If the grade appeal is not resolved, the student may bring the matter to the
appropriate department head within two weeks of discussion with the instructor.

matter as expeditiously as possible. The department head will notify the student
either in writing or orally of the result.

attaching copies of any supporting information and send it to the appropriate
divisional dean within two weeks of hearing from the department head.
Spring
5. The divisional dean may consult other faculty in the discipline and the
department head and may choose to meet with the student. The dean will notify
the student in writing of the resolution. A grade appeal is sometimes a lengthy
process and may take several weeks to resolve at this stage. Every effort will be
made to notify the student within one month.
6. After receipt of the dean’s written response, a student may continue the
appeal process by writing to the Academic Vice President. The student should
attach copies of all previous correspondence regarding the appeal and copies of

It is the student’s responsibility to be on time for all classes. One to Five
Points will be deducted from final grade for tardiness, (faculty
discretion); if a student exceeds more than “2” times late to class.
Please note that attendance is critical to successful completion of the
program. Unexcused absences will also be factored into the One to Five
Point Deduction, (faculty discretion); if a student fails to inform
instructor via: office phone message, instructor e-mail, Moodlerooms
and/or department secretary. *All students who miss a class, are
responsible for obtaining class content and information on their
own. Remember, only ONE absence from class permitted per
semester.
Remember, in the event of an emergency, illness and/or inclement
weather; all students must contact the instructor and/or department
secretary prior to class. Resources to contact are: Moodlerooms, (don’t
just count on the site), department secretary, instructor e-mail & phone.
Do Not leave messages on the clinic phone to report absences.
Absence of an Instructor
Spring
As noted in the Bergen Community College catalog: “Students are
expected to wait twenty (20) minutes. If at the end of 20 minutes
the faculty member does not come, the students should sign an
attendance sheet which indicates course, date, and time. One student
should deliver the attendance sheet to the dental hygiene office. St udents
cannot be penalized by faculty for not waiting longer than 20 minutes”.
*It is highly recommended that students check course announcements in
Moodlerooms considering class: assignments, concerns or cancellations
by instructor, as well.
