Make-Up Policy
The student is responsible for keeping up with coursework and being prepared to take exams when they are scheduled. LATE WORK WILL BE REDUCED BY 1 LETTER GRADE PER DAY IT'S LATE. A student who is absent for a scheduled exam will be
allowed to take a make-up test for that exam if he/she was ill or subject to an external circumstance outside his/her control. The administering of a make-up exam is at the discretion of the instructor.
Attendance Policy
Regular class attendance and punctuality are required for all classes. If a student must miss due to illness, emergency, or college business, it is the student's responsibility to find out what classwork they missed. According to the student handbook, after a student misses the equivalent of two weeks of class sessions, the instructor has the prerogative of assigning a grade "F" for the course.
Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity is expected of all students. Dishonesty includes claiming credit for work others completed, lying, plagiarizing, cheating on tests, and copying other students' assignments. A single incident of violating academic standards of integrity may result in an "F" for the assignment, an "F" in the course, or expulsion. A violation of academic standards will be reported to the Chief Academic Officers. The student(s) involved in the incident may appeal any action through the Grievance Procedure. Plagiarism is a very serious offense and includes copying from other students, purchasing completed assignments, copying from textbooks, claiming as one's own work the ideas of someone else, not giving credit to a source (whether the source was directly quoted, paraphrased, or summarized), or citing a source incorrectly.
