Course Additions and Drops
You will need to adhere to EICC’s withdraw deadlines. You will make a request to your high school counselor and your EICC academic advisor to be officially added or dropped from a College Connections course.
College Connections students are concurrently earning credit to fulfill EICC degree requirements AND high school graduation requirements. It is very important that you work with your EICC academic advisor and high school counselor prior to dropping a course. If you drop a concurrent course, you will be removed from the class at your high school and that may impact your eligibility to graduate from high school on time.
Withdrawing or failing a College Connections course can also negatively affect your financial aid status when you become a student at any college or university. It is very important that you discuss all of your options with your EICC academic advisor and your high school counselor. They can provide you with the information, resources and strategies to successfully navigate your options.
Failing a Course
Students who fail a course may be required by their high school to pay for the course.
Course Evaluation
Universal Student Feedback: This survey helps your instructor and the college know what you think about the course’s delivery and what changes should be made to meet student needs. The survey is anonymous.
Confidentiality of Student Records
Student records are regarded as confidential. Students are responsible for making decisions and signing documentation to release protected information. Students must sign a “release of information” for parents to speak directly with college personnel or access students’ records.
EICC will not provide names and addresses to outside agencies for commercial use or any information about academic records without the student’s written consent, or under specific guidelines established by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974.
Generally, EICC must have written permission from students before releasing information from their record. One exception is categorized as “directory information.” The College may release directory information to the public as the College sees fit, keeping in mind the privacy of the student and the totality of the surrounding circumstances. At EICC the following information is categorized as directory information:
- Name
- Address
- Telephone number
- Dates of attendance
- Class rank
- Concentration area
- Email address
- Currently enrolled
- Awards/honors
- Activities/sports
- Height/weight (athletes)
- Full/part-time status
Students objecting to the public release of such information must file a written objection with the Registrar’s Office within 30 calendar days of the beginning of the term in which they first enroll during that year. It is necessary for students to renew their objection at the beginning of each school year.
Students wishing to review the entire EICC policy on student rights may request the EICC policy from a Dean of Student Development at one of the EICC colleges: Clinton, Muscatine or Scott Community Colleges. Please consult your current online Student Handbook at eicc.edu/handbook for more detailed information about confidentiality of student records.
