Students who have academic complaints such as a grade dispute or other issues related to instruction are encouraged to seek resolution directly with the faculty member involved. If the issue is not resolved informally, there is a formal procedure for resolution of student concerns. A Student Academic Complaint Form is available in the division offices and the counseling center. Students must complete at least one semester assigned to a city hospital and at least one semester in a community hospital during the last three semesters. Clinical agencies are located in the suburban and Baltimore City area.
All students are responsible for their own transportation to and from clinical experiences.
Attendance at scheduled sessions is required. Excessive lateness or absence will result in course failure as will unsatisfactory clinical performance. Allow one hour interval between the end of a clinical time and the beginning of a class on campus. All nursing students are required to wear the Howard Community College uniform. The complete uniform for female students includes either the dress or pants suit, white, lapeled lab coat, white stockings, white professional nursing shoes, and a school patch sewn securely on the left sleeve of both the uniform and lab coat.
