TIMELINESS:   Being on time is important on the job and in this class. Not only is tardiness disruptive to the classroom, the skills and habits you develop now will directly affect your future employability. The two most commonly asked questions by potential employers concern attendance and attitude!

CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR:   As much as possible, you will be treated as though you are an employee; therefore, our expectations are that you conduct yourself in a professional manner. Examples of inappropriate (unprofessional) and unacceptable behavior include: talking during presentations, tardiness, putting your head down on the desk, putting your feet up on tables,  sleeping, working on non-class assignments, e-mailing, surfing the internet, and not being attentive.

DISABILITY: If you are a student that has a mental or physical disability that substantially limits your ability to learn, it is recommended that you contact the Special Populations counselor in Student Services, Bldg I Room 225. The information acquired during a visit with the Special Populations Counselor is confidential and could be used to help you succeed in your program. Renton Technical College is very interest in your success.
