What is IQ.Web?IQ.Web is an online academic tool that is essential to all instructors at TC3. IQ.Web gives you 'anytime, anywhere' access to your class rosters (past and future semester rosters in addition to current), attendance sheets, and student grades. You must have an IQ.Web account to submit your grades, download and print attendance rosters and class lists; the college does not provide these services for you - you must do them on your own. Make sure to complete your FERPA form immediately upon hiring so that you receive your IQ.Web account.

What is TC3's attendance policy?Although specific class attendance policies are up to the individual instructor, attendance records must be maintained in order to provide needed information for financial aid and other administrative offices. Last dates of attendance will be needed for all students even if they have withdrawn from your class, as well as students receiving a failing or incomplete grade. You will need to submit attendance reports through your IQ.Web account.
Back to top
What do I do if I need to cancel a class?You should contact the college (ask for the suite secretaries office or academic affairs office) as soon as possible if you must cancel your class (607.844.8211). A notice will be posted on the college web site as well as outside the classroom. If the college is closed due to inclement weather, this will be posted on the college web site (http://www.tc3.edu). If you need to cancel an evening class, please contact the college (607.844.8211) before 2:30 p.m.; if you report the cancellation after that time, it then becomes your responsibility to personally contact your students.
