Attendance Policy.
After you miss the equivalent of 4 class periods, you will be
warned of impending de-enrollment. If you miss the equivalent of
9 class periods, you will be de-enrolled.
Classroom Attire
.
All students are expected to dress in ways that make the classroom
a place where all students are comfortable and can work efficiently.
Distracting attire is not permitted in the classroom. For example,
attire associated with the "rush" activities of fraternities and
sororities simply causes too many distractions in the classroom.
If you choose to "rush" one of the fraternities or sororities,
please make sure the "rush" officials know that "rush" attire will not
be allowed in this classroom.
Academic Accommodations.
All students are expected to meet the standards for this course
as set by the instructor. However, students with learning disabilities
who may need accommodations should discuss options with the
Academic Support Center (ASC) during the first two weeks of class.
The ASC will contact professors with suggestions related to
classroom needs and accommodations. Approved documentation must
be on file in the ASC prior to the start of the semester.
All such arrangements must be completed within the first four
weeks of class.
Cheating Policy
A student who is caught submitting the work of another as her/his own will receive a zero on the work and a grade of F for the semester.
