Work Ethics Instruction and Grading

Columbus Technical College instructs and evaluates students on work ethics in all programs of study. Ten work ethics traits are defined as essential for student success. These traits include appearance, attendance, attitude, character, communication, cooperation, organizational skills, productivity, respect and team work. The definitions for these traits have been integrated into the program standards of each program curriculum thereby allowing each program to make work ethics a relevant and meaningful part of the program curriculum. The traits are assessed before the student graduates from the program.

Students will receive a separate Work Ethics grade for each course.

The official transcript for the college will include the following statement:

An emphasis, instruction and assessment on Work Ethics Traits are included in every program of study. These traits include appearance, attendance, attitude, character, communication, cooperation, organizational skills, productivity, respect, and teamwork.
