Attendance Policy
All Campuses
Students are expected to attend all classes regardless of location or delivery. Regular class attendance and promptness are necessary for maximum student success in college. The soft skill and knowledge obtained prepare students for transfer and employee reliability. Students in the Technical Trades will not receive a recommendation for employability if their attendance record is poor.
Students must establish attendance in all courses (online, hybrid, and face-to-face) during the first week of class. Faculty will provide an attendance policy in the course syllabus. It is at the discretion of faculty members to establish their course attendance expectations. Faculty may either recommend withdrawal from the course to the students for violation of the course attendance policy or formally recommend to the Vice President for Academic Services to withdraw a student from any class for excessive absences or non-participation.
Students who are withdrawn due to excessive absences or non-participation will be responsible for the course charges per the institution’s refund policy.
College Sponsored Activities
Student Responsibility - It is the responsibility of students to make definite arrangements for all work before going on field trips or other College-sponsored trips. School-sponsored activities will be counted as excused absences provided students complete all necessary assignments designated by the instructors and the activity sponsors notify the instructors at least three (3) days before the day(s) the students will be absent. Excused absences include academic competitions, music events, official athletic events, field trips, convocations, and other College-sponsored events as approved by the Vice President for Academic Services.
Distance Learning - Online Classes
Online courses at CCC can be synchronous or asynchronous, and students will have weekly requirements for participation. Logging into the online class does NOT quantify attending the course. Attendance Activities may encompass the following: submitting an academic assignment, taking an exam, or participating in an online discussion.
Attendance is established during the first week of an online course by completing the Attendance Activity. Additional coursework will be required during the first week that will impact the student’s grade. The first week of the online course begins at 8:00 am (CST) on the course start date through 4 pm (CST) on the 7th day. Students will be administratively withdrawn from the course for failure to meet the attendance requirement, and the institution’s refund policy will be applied.
Attendance Policy - Technical Division
The primary goal of the Coffeyville Community College Technical Division is to prepare students to succeed on the job for which they are trained. Students are expected to be prompt and regular in their attendance. As a rule, employers are interested in the college attendance record of job applicants. They have found that good college attendance is predictive of good job attendance and indicates employee reliability. If a student has a poor attendance record, the College cannot recommend that student for employment.
Accommodation Request
The Senior Director of Enrollment Management and Student Success will work with the Academic Accommodation Committee to advise and provide support services to all students with mental or physical disabilities; hearing or visual impairments; and/or individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) covered under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the 1973 Rehabilitation Act Section 504; Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; and/or, ADA Amendments of 2008. Students requesting special assistance, academic adjustments, and/or auxiliary aids, either temporary or permanent, are required to submit documentation to the Senior Director of Enrollment Management and Student Success.

Requesting Accommodations
- Students should contact the Senior Director of Enrollment Management and Student Success and complete an Academic Accommodation Request. The request must be submitted for each semester that the student needs accommodations.
- Students are encouraged to contact the Senior Director of Enrollment Management and Student Success as early as possible because some accommodations may take weeks or even months to arrange.
- Students will need to provide comprehensive documentation of learning or physical disability, hearing or visual impairment, or Limited English Proficiency which is complete and supports the request for accommodations.
- The documentation should be an age appropriate assessment conducted within the past three years by a trained and qualified professional that shows the student’s current level of functioning and how the disability affects academic performance.
- If the documentation does not contain objective data regarding aptitude, achievement and information processing, the Academic Accommodation Committee may request a re-evaluation at the student’s expense before consideration is given.
- All requests for accommodations and services will be considered on a case by case basis.
- Senior Director of Enrollment Management and Student Success will develop an Academic Adjustment Memo for each of the student’s instructors outlining the approved accommodations.
- Students must self-identify each semester as a person with a learning or physical disability, hearing or visual impairment, or Limited English Proficiency by presenting a copy of the Academic Adjustment Memo to each instructor they want notified.
- Students can self-identify at any time during an academic course but Coffeyville Community College has no responsibility to make accommodations retroactive.
- The instructor and student should sign and agree to the Academic Adjustment Memo and return the original copy to the Senior Director of Enrollment Management and Student Success.
- A student should report to the Senior Director of Enrollment Management and Student Success any difficulty they may be experiencing with the agreed upon accommodations.
Academic Advising
The Advising Center is located in the Student Success Center in Weinberg Hall on the Coffeyville Community College Main Campus. This facility provides information and assists students in their academic decision-making process. Using the combination faculty and professional advisor model popular in universities and community colleges, the department is responsible for all advising activities, including the following:
- ACT/SAT/ACCUPLACER
- enrollment
- general education advisement
- exploratory student advisement
- transfer advisement
- freshman orientation
- advisor training
- student/advisor designations
The department also provides career information, program guides, transfer information and assistance. It is a place where students feel free to ask questions about everything from College activities and organizations to personal concerns.
CCC has won several national awards for its advising program and dedication to quality advisement. The department enhances CCC’s excellent advising reputation; it is the core of the College - for students, faculty and the community.
Testing and Placement
All full-time students or transfer students are required to submit ACT or SAT scores or take the ACCUPLACER test. The purpose of the test is to place students in appropriate math and English courses on the basis of their skill level and to promote successful college experiences. Placement is mandatory for math and English classes. The following placement rules apply:
Using ACCUPLACER
Writing Skills:
Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra & Statistics
Using ACT Scores
English
Math
Using SAT Scores

All new students should send a copy of their ACT or SAT scores to the Student Success Center or bring a copy with them when they enroll. If students have not taken the ACT or SAT, or do not have a copy on file, they will be required to take the ACCUPLACER test before enrollment can be completed. For more information contact the Student Success Center.
*Completion of the ACCUPLACER Test is required for students prior to enrolling in their first math or English course. ACT or SAT or ASSET scores are also accepted.
Multiple Measures for Academic Placement
CCC has implemented multiple measures to assist students in a collaborative discussion with the Student Success Center’s Academic Advising staff regarding academic placement in Math and English courses. The SSC Advising staff will use placement scores as a baseline for academic placement and evaluate the student’s high school transcript, considering GPA and the highest Math and English courses completed in the last five years.
All new students should either send a copy of their ACT or SAT scores to the Admissions and Advising Center or bring a copy with them when they enroll. If students have not taken the ACT or SAT, or do not have a copy on file, they will be required to take the ACCUPLACER test before enrollment can be completed. For more information contact the Admissions and Advising Center.
Technical Transfer Students
Students wishing to transfer vocational/technical clock or credit hours from an accredited technical school should have an official transcript sent to the College. The Registrar will evaluate the clock hours, if needed, and assign the appropriate credit hours. Students can graduate from the College after completing the general education requirements for the Associate in Applied Science degree, if the transcript shows that a technical certificate with 46 hours or more was awarded by the prior institution. Students may also seek the Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree options.
