No late work will be accepted. All homework must be submitted by the end of the class period on the due date. If you miss class on the day homework is due, you will need to scan and email it to me. The time stamp on your email will determine whether the submission was on time.
There will be 4 regular exams during the semester. The final exam grade may be used to replace your lowest regular exam grade if you have 2 or fewer absences in the class. No individual make-up exams will be given. The final examination will be comprehensive and is required of all students. Any student who misses 2 tests may be dropped from the course.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
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. It is the student’s responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval by the faculty member. Approved college-sponsored activities are also excused absences. The instructor is responsible for judging the validity of any reason given for an 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 the absence is documented and excused by the instructor. 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 will be taken during each class with a sign in sheet. If a student comes in tardy, it is his/her responsibility to stay at the end of class and request to be changed from absent to tardy. Any student who fails to sign in will be counted absent. Students are either present or absent. There are no excused absences, except those listed in the catalog where specific requirements have been met.
LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW
Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is Thursday, April 5, 2018.
Withdrawing from a class is the students responsibility.
