There are no extra credit opportunities in this course. A grade of C or better in all DHY courses must be maintained for progression to the next Dental Hygiene course. ATTENDANCE POLICY: https://catalog.bergen.edu/content.php?catoid=13&navoid=666&hl=%22instructor%22&r eturnto=search • All students are expected to attend punctually every scheduled meeting of each course in which they are registered. • Attendance and lateness policies and sanctions are to be determined by the instructor for each section of each course. • These will be established in writing on the individual course outline. Attendance will be kept by the instructor for administrative and counseling purposes. The Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) requires that students complete a minimum number of clinical and didactic hours in the program; therefore, students are expected to attend all class/lab sessions. Attendance is critical to the successful completion of the program. All program classes and activities must be prioritized. Scheduling conflicts must be resolved by the student so that program classes and activities are met. It is the student’s responsibility to be on time for all classes, labs, and clinical sessions. Attendance, lateness policies, and sanctions are to be determined by the instructor of each course. These will be established in writing on the individual course outline. The penalty for more than two (2) unexcused absences (i.e., a doctor’s note) will be a loss of credit in this course and will result in the student repeating the entire course. NOTE: Two (2) tardies will equal one (1) absence. Consequently, excessive absenteeism and tardiness may impact work ethics and course grades. Therefore, it may become necessary to withdraw from a course due to excessive absenteeism. Other College, Divisional, and/or Departmental Policy Statements: DRESS CODE Students are expected to exhibit a professional appearance as noted in the Student Handbook. ACADEMIC CONDUCT The Dental Hygiene faculty adheres to the policy statement governing academic conduct as outlined in the Bergen Community College Catalog. https://catalog.bergen.edu/content.php?catoid=13&navoid=671&hl=%22conduct%22&re turnto=search#procedure-thecode Faculty reserve the right to delay the return of exam grades until all students have taken the exam and faculty review of the exam has been completed. Cheating, plagiarism, and unethical behavior will not be tolerated. Any student who has demonstrated any of the above behaviors will be disciplined according to college procedures. *Note: An instructor may establish other guidelines regarding academic integrity consistent with the College policy. https://catalog.bergen.edu/content.php?catoid=13&navoid=666&hl=%22plagiarism%22 &returnto=search Cheating, plagiarism, and unethical behavior will not be tolerated. Any student who has demonstrated any of the above behaviors will be disciplined according to college procedures. Cell phones are not permitted in classrooms, laboratories or clinics unless they are part of the learning activity. Students are not permitted to use any type of recording device to tape lectures or clinical sessions. Children are not permitted in classrooms and/or laboratories. Food is not permitted in classrooms, laboratories, clinic reception area or clinical areas. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY Dental hygienists are health care professionals who ‘focus on preventing and treating oral diseases.’ They play an important role in society by providing services that contribute to the health and well-being of individuals and their communities and must always display ethical behavior. This obligation begins in dental hygiene school and continues throughout one’s professional career. The American Dental Hygienists’ Association’s Code of Ethics establishes behavioral standards to guide the public’s expectations of trust and accountability. These ethical standards include a commitment to honesty, truthfulness, full disclosure, accuracy, fairness, and integrity. You are expected to be guided by these standards and follow the Dental Hygiene Department rules of conduct during any testing situation. All students are expected to pass examinations on their own merit without assistance and are expected to maintain confidentiality with respect to examination content. Behavior that results in misconduct or irregularity in the examination process is a very serious matter. Violation of the rules of conduct or examination regulations may result in the voiding of examination results or other appropriate penalties. The Dental Hygiene Program will adhere to the Academic Integrity Policy of Bergen Community College, which is stated in the College Catalog. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include, but not limited to cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Please refer to the Bergen Community College Catalog for more information. COURSE ISSUES If a problem arises with any aspect of this course, it is the responsibility of the student to bring the problem to the attention of the primary faculty member. If the issue involves any other faculty member, the student will be referred to discuss the problem with the faculty member that is involved. The primary faculty member will not change any evaluation grade issued by clinical faculty members. To facilitate resolution of any issues that may arise, students must follow this protocol. Students should not make appointments with the Dental Hygiene Department Academic Department Chairperson, other faculty members or administration without first addressing the issue with the primary faculty member.
