Developmental courses:
The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a statewide program designed to ensure that students enrolled in Texas
public colleges and universities have the basic academic skills needed to be successful in college-level
course work. The TSI requires assessment, remediation (if necessary), and advising of students who attend a
public college or university in the state of Texas. The program assesses a student’s basic academic skills in
reading, writing, and math. Passing the assessment is a prerequisite for enrollment in many college-level
classes such as English 1301/1302, History 1301/1302, Math 1414, etc. Students who do not meet
assessment standards may complete prerequisite requirements by taking developmental courses in the
deficient area and passing them with a grade of C or higher. In some cases retesting will also be required. It
is up to each student to be aware and informed about requirements that are subject to
to change. Additional information is available from the TSI Office.

TO ALL STUDENTS, EFFECTIVE SPRING 2008.
Important information you need to know about dropping courses. Under section 51.907 of the
Texas Education Code, “an institution of higher education may not permit a student to drop more
than six courses, including any course a transfer student had dropped at another institution of
higher education.” This statute was enacted by the State of Texas in spring 07 and applies to
students who enroll in a public institution of higher education as first-time freshmen in fall 2007
or later. Any course that a student drops is counted toward the six-course limit of “(1) the student
was able to drop the course without receiving a grade or incurring an academic penalty; (2) the
student’s transcript indicates or will indicate that the student was enrolled in the course; and (3)
the student is not dropping the course in order to withdraw from the institution
A pre-test (First week of classes) and a post-test (last week of classes) will be done in class. This
test will measure the progress made during the semester. A copy of this completed test will be
given to the students at the end of the semester.
Since the nature of foreign language classes requires constant interaction and close
proximity between students and instructors, as a gentle reminder and consideration
to others in class, please refrain from attending class when you are ill.

Academic Honesty Statement
Scholastic dishonesty is a violation of the Code of Student Conduct. Scholastic dishonesty
includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion.
As a college student, you are considered a responsible adult. Your enrollment indicates
acceptance of the DCCCD Code of Student Conduct published in the DCCCD Catalog at
DCCCD Catalog (http://www1.dcccd.edu/cat0506/ss/code.cfm)
Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on tests, plagiarism and
collusion. Cheating includes copying from another student’s test or homework paper, using
materials not authorized, collaborating with or seeking aid from another student during a test,
knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, or soliciting the contents of an un-administered test, and
substituting for another person to take a test. Plagiarism is the appropriating, buying, receiving as
a gift, or obtaining by any means another’s work and the unacknowledged submission or
incorporation of it in one’s own written work. Collusion is the unauthorized collaboration with
another person in preparing written work for fulfillment of course requirements. Academic
dishonesty is a serious offense in college. You can be given a failing grade on an assignment or
test, can be failed for the class, or you can even be suspended from college.
