CAPSTONE REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCOUNTING MAJORS
The capstone for the Accounting Technician Certificate is a comprehensive program exam with a score of 70% or higher. Exam must be scheduled with the Department Chair upon completion of a certificate.
The capstone requirement for the AAS Degree in Accounting is ACNT 2302 Accounting Capstone. It should be taken the last semester before graduation. This course may not be substituted.
Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered. All absences are considered to be unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies as determined by the instructor. It is the student responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval and judgement by the faculty member. Approved college sponsored activities are the only absences for which a student should not be held liable and only when provided by a college official ahead of the absence. Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work. Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless they have reasons acceptable to the instructor. A student who is compelled to be absent when a test is given should petition the instructor, in advance if possible, for permission to postpone the exam. Student will be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instructor who feels the student has been justifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to preclude meeting the course’s objectives. Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)
Attendance in your online course will be measured by the completion of graded assignments by their due dates. Students who fail to log in regularly and participate in online course assignments will be reported to the college as non-attending students.
Non-attendance may impact your Financial Aid.
