10 The Washington Center • Course Guide Courses FAQ What time is my evening course? Evening courses are all held one night a week, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., unless otherwise specified in the course guide or your syllabus. Your professor may adjust the meeting time within the assigned time block. For classes offered in a hybrid format, your instructor will review meeting dates and attendance expectations during your first class meeting. Where are evening courses held? Most classes will be held in-person. Your professor will utilize Canvas to communicate important information regarding classes. Any hybrid or online course meetings will utilize Zoom. Where can I find the course schedule? The Course Schedule will be available on Canvas, which you will be able to access closer to the start of the program. You will also be able to find your class day and location on your evening course syllabus. Is the evening course the same as the Career Readiness Programming? No, the Career Readiness Programming is different from the evening course. Both are required components of the program. Is attendance mandatory? Yes, students who miss more than two regularly scheduled class meetings of the evening course will be withdrawn from the course with a grade of F, which will also be forwarded to the home college or university. What if I am absent from class? Faculty are required to track attendance and to report all absences to TWC, regardless of the reason. If you know you will be absent from your class, please be in touch with your professor to inquire about makeup work. In event of an emergency, please also contact courses@TWC.edu, in addition to your professor. What if my internship has an event that conflicts with my class time? Our internship hosts understand the academic requirements of the TWC program. They understand that internship obligations should not conflict with fulfilling the academic requirements of the program. What if I require academic accommodation? Students who require or think they might require academic accommodation should email disabilityservices@twc.edu. We are happy to work with you to ensure your success in the program. Does my program fee cover course expenses? While the program fee does include the evening course, students will need to cover the costs of their own books, notebooks, and other expenses including any travel and admissions fees for special events. Total book cost typically ranges from $70 to $90. TWC does not have a bookstore, but your professor will be able to tell you how you can purchase required materials. Will I need anything for class? Other than required readings and the ability to take notes, you will need a computer to participate and complete class assignments. Students may use the computer lab on the P1 level in the RAF. What are the technology policies? You are expected to use technology throughout the course for participation and to complete assignments. The primary platform you should become familiar with is Canvas. Your instructor will provide guidance at the beginning of the semester on any further, specific requirements.
