Mission Statement:
Delta Community College is a multi-cultural learning facility dedicated to empowering adult learners to achieve their full intellectual, social and personal potential. We commit to inform, involve and inspire each other through participation in our Language Instruction for Newcomers (LINC), Adult Foundations and High School Completion programs.Attendance
Regular attendance is expected and will help students succeed. If a student is not attending class, the instructor will make 3 attempts to contact the student, and may withdraw students from classes if they are not attending regularly. Please let your instructor know if you are going to miss class(es) and discuss missed work.
Instructors are not required to provide make-up exams or spend extra time with students who missed class(es).
Homework
Complete assigned homework on time. Alert your instructor if there’s an extraordinary circumstance as to why you cannot submit work on time and discuss any possible options with them.
