Checklist
for Students
Welcome to the Aims Community College dual credit program. We know
you want to succeed in any course you take. Below are listed some
issues that could affect your performance in a dual credit class.
If you have a problem in any of these areas, please contact your
college instructor immediately and directly.
- Because this is a college course, you will be treated as a college
student and held to college standards, which are different from
high school standards.
- The syllabus contains information that you need to know about
the course, such as assignments and activities, course textbooks,
schedules and due dates, policies on late work and withdrawal from
class. It is your responsibility to understand its content and
keep up with the calendar. The syllabus is your instructional
contract with Aims.
- As a college student, it is important that you familiarize
yourself with Aims’ Student Code of Conduct, which may be
found in the college catalogue. The code explains your rights as
a student as well as your responsibilities. It is located
in myAims, under Student Resources off your student tab.
- Academic dishonesty of any kind, including plagiarism, can
result in your receiving a failing grade for the assignment or
test. And, depending on the severity of the particular incident,
it could also result in your receiving an F in the
course and other possible action from the high school and the College.
See Student Code of Conduct.
- As a college student, you are expected to keep track of your
own grades and progress throughout the semester.
- If you have questions or problems in the course, contact your
instructor. You will find the instructor’s office hours,
and telephone number in the course syllabus.
- If you have a concern regarding instructional issues in the
course that you have not been able to resolve by first talking
it over with your dual credit high school instructor’s you
have the right to present your grievance in writing to the dean
of the discipline. The dean will facilitate further discussion
between you and your instructor until the grievance is resolved.
(See Student Rights and
Responsibilities located in myAims, under Student Resources
off your student tab.)
- For questions or problems concerning placement, attendance,
drops, reinstatement, online course options, course transferability,
personal issues related to your continuation in the online course,
etc., contact Susan Burrows, (970) 339-6327 or susan.burrows@aims.edu for
advice or assistance.
- View our add/drop
information if you wish to withdraw
from the course with a W, consult for
deadline dates and instructions.
- Time management is a valuable skill. On average, you should
expect to work outside of the classroom six to nine hours per week
per course. Manage your time wisely.
Please read this checklist carefully and keep a copy. Once
again, welcome to Aims Community College—the right
choice at every step!
