Program Capstone Requirements:

The capstone for the all Information Technology Certificates 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 all Information Technology AAS Degrees is a program specific course directly related to the degree.  This course may not be substituted and should be taken the last semester before graduation. You will find more information about the capstone course for your degree in the catalog.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered.  All absences are considered 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.

Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is February 21, 2020.

DISABILITY SERVICES (Office for Students with Disabilities)
