WITHDRAWAL POLICY

In accordance with the Community College System policies, students may withdraw from class without completing course requirements with a "W" grade. A "W" grade will not be assigned for a class unless the student has officially withdrawn from that class in the manner prescribed by the College. No grade will be recorded for a student who officially withdraws or is dropped from a class during the first ten days of a semester. Students who withdraw after this date up to and including the date of midterm shall be given a grade of "W." After the date of midterm through the last class meeting prior to the final, the "W" grade may be given at the discretion of the instructor. Each instructor shall state on the first or second class meeting the factors to be used in determining the assignment of a "W" grade during the discretionary period. It may not be assigned to a student found guilty of an academic offense without the permission of the instructor in whose class the offense occurred. The grade "W" may also be assigned by the Community College Appeals Board. Also, the President may, if the student concurs, assign a "W" grade to a student who has been reported to the President for unsatisfactory scholarship or excessive absences and who, after being reported, has made no improvement. GRADE "I" The grade "I" means that part of the work of the course remains undone. It shall be given only when there is a reasonable possibility that a passing grade will result from completion of the work. The instructor shall not give an "I" grade when the reason for incompleteness is unsatisfactory to the instructor. A student shall have the option of having the "I" grade as a permanent part of his or her record. If the student elects to complete the course, in order to change the "I" grade to a letter grade, he or she must do so before graduation, but in no event after the lapse of two years from the date the "I" grade was awarded except that the instructor, with the approval of the division chairman, may specify a shorter period of time for completion of the course.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

I do not take attendance.  If you need to be somewhere else during class time then be there.  But remember I do not accept late work or schedule make up exams.
