Course Policies & Procedures
Specific Course Policies

Online Courses: This class is internet-based requiring
proficiency with and access to e-mail and the web.
Online courses are delivered through the learning management
system, Blackboard. Online classes are
particularly valuable for motivated students with good self-
discipline and time management skills who cannot
easily attend regular traditional classes. Regular and reliable
access to the Internet is necessary for success in
online classes. See www.tcc.edu/students/dtls for tutorial and
additional TCC online support services.
Writing and Communication Skills and Netiquette: Students
should possess a firm command of written
communication skills, including the mechanics of writing and
grammar, the ability to organize thoughts, and the
ability to demonstrate those skills in all written work.
Observation of "Netiquette":
All online communications need to be composed with fairness,
honesty, and tact. Spelling and grammar are
very important in an online course. What you put into an online
course reflects your level of professionalism.
Several netiquette guidelines are listed below:
1. Sentence Capitalization: Typing in ALL CAPS is considered
screaming (and generally rude). Example: I

DISAGREE!
2. Leaving the subject field blank: Always fill in the subject
with a concise statement describing the email.
3. Do not use all caps or put in vague phrases such as “Help” or
“Hi”.
4. Failure to follow netiquette guidelines when filling in the
subject line of an email may result in your
correspondence being discarded as spam.
5. Use Grammar and Spelling check
Grade Policy
Based on the progression of the course, the grade distribution
for each assignment may change. However, if
changes are made, I will notify students in a timely manner and
in writing. Final grades are made available to
each student within the Student Information System (SIS) now

All assignments (Discussion Questions, Article Reviews,
Quizzes, etc.) will be available on Blackboard on
Saturday afternoon of the week scheduled and due on the

Attendance Policy
All students are expected to be present and on time at all
scheduled class and laboratory meetings. Instructors
are not required to admit a student who arrives late to the
classroom. A student who adds a class or registers
after the first day of classes is counted absent from all class
meetings missed.
If a student is absent more than 15 percent of scheduled
instructional time, attendance may be defined as
unsatisfactory. This calculation includes absences occurring
during the add/drop period. See also the
Withdrawal Policy in this syllabus for more information. Per the
college’s attendance policy, faculty have the
right to develop a more stringent policy as well. Students who
do not attend or participate in class by the
deadline to drop for tuition refund may be deleted from the
course.
All students are expected to be active participants within the
online community. Students who fail to submit two
consecutive weeks’ worth of class assignments are subject to
being dropped from the course. Students who do

not participate in class by the deadline to drop for tuition refund
may be deleted from the course.
Late Work/Make-up Exam Policy
• All assignments are due by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday of each
week.
• Assignments and Quizzes will be penalized with 10 points
deducted for each week that the work is late.
• Discussion Questions (DQ) initial postings should be
submitted early in the week to allow for full
participation. If your initial post is submitted at the very end of
the week, your peers will not have an
opportunity to review/respond to your post.
• Initial posts made at the end of the week will have points
deducted for late submission:
o Initial DQ or P2P posts made on Sunday will lose 10 pts.
o Initial DQ or P2P posts made on Monday or Tuesday will lose
15 pts.
• DQ forums will close on Tuesdays. Once closed, DQ forums
will not be re-opened.
Classroom Behavior
TCC is committed to maintaining a social and physical
environment conducive to carrying out its education

mission. Therefore, all members of the TCC community are
expected to demonstrate standards for civility.
• Be moderate in speaking. Loud, obscene, argumentative, or
threatening speech is disruptive to
teaching and learning and is offensive to others. It has no place
in an academic setting
• Resolve any disagreements in a positive, non-combative
manner. Request the assistance of college
authorities if needed.
• Show respect for the comfort of others in an educational
setting by observing acceptable standards
for personal cleanliness and dress.
Electronic Devices
Cell phones, pagers, and other communication devices are
prohibited from use in classrooms, laboratories, and
libraries, unless authorized by the appropriate faculty or staff.
Although soundless communication devices such
as cell phones and pagers are permissible in classrooms, college
offices, and/or meeting rooms, they must not be
answered during class.

10
Inclement Weather/Emergent Hazardous Conditions
Tidewater Community College uses TCC Alerts to immediately
contact and inform faculty, staff and
students of a major crisis or emergency. TCC Alerts delivers
important emergency alerts, notifications, and
updates via:
• Email (work, home, other)
• Text Message via Cell phone
• Pager
When an incident or emergency occurs, authorized senders will
be instantly notified via TCC Alerts. TCC
Alerts is a personal connection to real-time updates,
instructions on where to go, what to do, or what not to
do, who to contact, and other important information. New users
may register via the link on the
College’s Closings & Emergencies webpage
(https://www.tcc.edu/closings-emergencies).
All students are encouraged to sign up for TCC Alerts as soon

as possible. If you have already
subscribed, please verify your contact information is up-to-date
in TCC Alerts.
In the event of a bomb threat, tornado, or fire, students and staff
may be directed to evacuate the building or
move to an internal assembly area location within the building.
Evacuation routes are posted in each classroom.
The map indicates the route to the nearest exit. Students should
review the map to make sure that the exit routes
for the building are clearly understood. The information
regarding locations of the Emergency Assembly Areas
and Internal Assembly Areas for all classrooms or spaces used
on the various campuses is available on our
Closings and Emergencies webpage
http://www.tcc.edu/closings-emergencies
Disposition of Classes for Emergency Shutdown of the College
In the event of an emergency shutdown of the college, the
president and her executive staff may elect to
conclude the term in session if eighty-five percent or more of
that term has been completed. If the term in
session is concluded, faculty shall compute final grades of
students based on coursework completed at that

point.
Academic Policies & Procedures
Students are responsible for being aware of the policies,
procedures, and student responsibilities contained
within the current edition of the TCC Catalog and Student
Handbook.
Withdrawal Policy
Students who wish to withdraw without academic penalty
should contact a counselor to determine the
appropriate procedure. Withdrawals through completion of 60
percent of a session will result in a W grade.
After 60 percent of a session is completed, a withdrawal will
result in a grade of F in a credit course or a grade
of U in a developmental course, except under mitigating
circumstances that must be documented by the
instructor and approved by the academic dean. Dynamic session
classes have unique refund and withdrawal
https://www.tcc.edu/closings-emergencies
https://www.tcc.edu/closings-emergencies
11
dates. Contact a campus Enrollment Services Office for more

information, or visit the Academic Calendar
website (URL provided in Important Websites section).
A student who drops after the last day to withdraw does not
receive a 'W'. He/she receives an 'F', in which case
there is both an academic and financial penalty. A student who
withdraws by the deadline faces a financial
penalty, but not an academic penalty.
10/24/2018 Deadline to drop to tuition refund
11/19/2018
Deadline to withdraw without academic penalty and to receive a
grade of W for
the course
Academic Integrity
TCC will expect students to demonstrate personal and academic
integrity, to be open to new ideas, and to share
in a community where individuals from diverse backgrounds
and cultures help one another grow intellectually,
socially, and personally.
TCC expects students to achieve, not just to get by. And while
many caring and talented faculty and staff are

here to help, students must take responsibility for their own
learning. Students should strive for a high level of
academic performance and to be responsible, contributing
citizens within the college and in outside
communities. Above all, TCC wants students to develop a love
of learning that will last a lifetime, along with a
life-long interest in maintaining emotional and physical
wellness.
Student Outcomes Assessment Requirement
Work products submitted by students to fulfill course
requirements may be used by the college to evaluate its
academic programs and general education requirements.
Plagiarism and Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, the
following actions: cheating on an examination or
quiz—either giving or receiving information; copying
information from another person for graded assignments;
using unauthorized materials during tests; collaboration during
examinations; buying, selling or stealing

arranging such a substitution; plagiarism—the intentional or
accidental presentation of another’s words or ideas;

collusion with another person or persons in submitting work for
credit in class or lab, unless such collaboration
is approved in advance by the instructor.
Faculty members who have reliable evidence of academic

Dean for Student Services or designee for
disposition, the Plenary Disciplinary Procedure shall be
followed, and the student’s dismissal from the college
is a possibility.

Educational Accessibility
Students who have documented, diagnosed disabilities, and who
need special accommodations for tests, etc.,
are advised to see the Educational Accessibility Disabilities
Services staff in Student Services so that the
instructor may be notified of what accommodations are
appropriate in each case. Requests for accommodations
should be made to the designated campus Educational
Accessibility counselor at least 45 days before classes
begin. Documentation must be provided to support the need for
accommodations.
Students who have been hospitalized (for medical or psychiatric
reasons) unexpectedly during the semester

Unit 5 [AC499: Bachelor’s Capstone in Accounting]
Unit 5 Assignment: GAAP Applications –
Internal Control
Recall that in Units 2 and 3, you completed the accounting
cycle for Dustin Larkin of Quixote
Consulting. Quixote Consulting is a part-time consulting
business that recently moved from Dustin’s
home into rented quarters.
Assume that you are the internal auditor for the business and
you have to evaluate the internal
control procedures that have been implemented in the business.
There are three objectives of internal control:
(1) Assets are safeguarded and used for business purposes,

(2) Business information is accurate, and
(3) Employees comply with laws and regulations.
The five elements of internal control are:
(1) The control environment,
(2) Risk assessment,
(3) Control procedures,
(4) Monitoring, and
(5) Information and communication.
If you owned a business, you would expect your employees to:
1) Work to achieve the business goals and objectives you
establish.
2) Use business assets (such as machinery or automobiles) only
for legitimate business
purposes and avoid wasting business resources.

3) Record accurate data regarding business transactions so you
could accurately judge how well
your business is doing.
4) Refrain from stealing your cash, supplies, inventory, or
property, plant, and equipment.
In theory, you should be able to expect these things. In practice,
however, you must establish an
internal control framework to make sure your business
objectives are achieved, assets are protected
from theft and misuse, and financial data are recorded
accurately.
The following eight procedures (A–H) were recently installed
by Quixote Consulting:
A. The bank reconciliation is prepared by the cashier, who
works under the supervision of the
treasurer.

B. All mail is opened by the mail clerk, who forwards all cash
remittances to the cashier. The
cashier prepares a listing of the cash receipts and forwards a
copy of the list to the accounts
receivable clerk for recording in the accounts.
C. At the end of the day, cash register clerks are required to use
their own funds to make up
any cash shortages in their registers.
D. At the end of each day, all cash receipts are placed in the
bank's night depository.
E. At the end of each day, an accounting clerk compares the
duplicate copy of the daily cash
deposit slip with the deposit receipt obtained from the bank.
F. The accounts payable clerk prepares a voucher for each
disbursement. The voucher along
with the supporting documentation is forwarded to the
treasurer's office for approval.
G. After necessary approvals have been obtained for the
payment of a voucher, treasurer
signs and mails the check. The treasurer then stamps the
voucher and supporting
documentation as paid and returns the voucher and supporting
documentation to the accounts

payable clerk for filing.
H. Along with petty cash expense receipts for postage, office
supplies, etc., several post-dated
employee checks are in the petty cash fund.
Instructions
A. Indicate whether each of the procedures of internal control
represents:
(1) a strength or, (2) a weakness. For each weakness, indicate
why it exists and what procedures
should be put into place to alleviate the risk.
B. For each letter, A–H, you should have at least a one
paragraph, thoughtful answer that includes
good critical thinking.
C. Your Assignment must be submitted in a single Word
document.
D. The document must use APA formatting and include a proper
Running head, Title Page, and
references (Please review the documents placed in Doc Sharing
related to APA formatting and
proper formal writing. You may use the file titled “APA

Template” and revise it to meet the Assignment
criteria).
E. Use properly formatted headings to organize your paper.
F. You must include proper references and citations for any
content not original to you. Also, you
must use independent references/citations to support any
“personal knowledge” or “personal
experience” you include in the analysis. Formal writing does
not recognize your own personal
knowledge as “common knowledge.” Therefore, proper
independent support must be included for any
assertions made.
When you are ready, you may submit your paper on the
Dropbox page.
Note: include your name in the filename of the Assignment.

· Double-space the text of your paper, and use a legible font
(e.g. Times New Roman). Whatever font you choose, MLA
recommends that the regular and italics type styles contrast
enough that they are recognizable one from another. The font
size should be 12 pt.
· Leave only one space after periods or other punctuation marks
(unless otherwise instructed by your instructor).
· Set the margins of your document to 1 inch on all sides.
· Indent the first line of paragraphs one half-inch from the left
margin. MLA recommends that you use the Tab key as opposed
to pushing the Space Bar five times.
· Create a header that numbers all pages consecutively in the
upper right-hand corner, one-half inch from the top and flush
with the right margin. (Note: Your instructor may ask that you
omit the number on your first page. Always follow your
instructor's guidelines.)
· Use italics throughout your essay for the titles of longer works
and, only when absolutely necessary, providing emphasis.
· If you have any endnotes, include them on a separate page
before your Works Cited page. Entitle the section Notes
(centered, unformatted).
Formatting the First Page of Your Paper
· Do not make a title page for your paper unless specifically
requested.
· In the upper left-hand corner of the first page, list your name,
your instructor's name, the course, and the date. Again, be sure

to use double-spaced text.
· Double space again and center the title. Do not underline,
italicize, or place your title in quotation marks; write the title in
Title Case (standard capitalization), not in all capital letters.
· Use quotation marks and/or italics when referring to other
works in your title, just as you would in your text: Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas as Morality Play; Human Weariness in
"After Apple Picking"
· Double space between the title and the first line of the text.
· Create a header in the upper right-hand corner that includes
your last name, followed by a space with a page number;
number all pages consecutively with Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3,
4, etc.), one-half inch from the top and flush with the right
margin. (Note: Your instructor or other readers may ask that
you omit last name/page number header on your first page.
Always follow instructor guidelines.)
