High School Orientation

• Your EICC grades will be recorded on your permanent college transcript and will follow you throughout your college career.
• If you drop a class, your transcript will be noted with a “W”

• To read the syllabus carefully
• To attend class and be on time
• To turn in assignments on time and according to instructions
• To let them know if you are having difficulty or have questions. For extra help, e-mail your instructors or see them during their office hours
• That you understand their expectations of you are the same as all students. An instructor may seem ‘tough;' that's because they want you well prepared when you transfer to a 4-year institution

• Go to every class and be on time
• Let your instructor know if you have an emergency and cannot attend a class
• Get all lecture notes from the class you missed
• Be prepared
• Read all materials before class
• Take good notes
• Ask questions. If you have a question the odds are someone else does, too. Don’t be afraid to be the one to ask.
• Don't miss quizzes or tests
• Hand in your assignments on time and make sure they are legible
• Build a study plan, allowing enough time for adequate test review so you will not need to ‘cram’
• Identify campus resources and use them all the way through the term, not just before tests, like tutoring, library, computer lab, advisors, and more.

FERPA: Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act was passed by Congress in 1974. It allows you the right to inspect and review your own educational records. This right is limited solely to you. FERPA prevents non-directory/confidential information from being released to anyone other than you. FERPA does not allow parental access to post-secondary student educational records without your written permission.

• Who is covered by FERPA: Anyone who is enrolled at a post-secondary institution. Coverage under this act begins upon enrollment. It also protects former students.

There are times the college may close due to inclement weather. You can check the website for notifications.

It is important to remember that we do not always close our campus on the same days the local school systems do. If your high school is closed and we are open, you are expected to attend class.
