Make-Up Policy
Late exams and assignments will not be accepted. You must contact Connect Support if you cannot take your Connect exam due to computer issues. Do not contact the instructor for Connect problems UNTIL AFTER you have contacted Connect support. You must complete requirements and assignments as designated by the instructor. Plenty of time is given for completion of each assignment. If you miss a due date without notification to the instructor, a "0" will be given for that work. The student is responsible for getting assignments turned in to the instructor. If computer failure occurs or an emergency occurs, please notify the instructor immediately or as soon as possible. again, Connect support must be notified if it is a problem with your Connect exam. No make-up work will be accepted. See below.
Attendance Policy
Regular class attendance and punctuality are required for all classes. Attendance points will be graded. You will receive 10 points per class you attend and will not be given attendance points (10) if you miss class, leave early, or arrive late. If a student must miss due to illness, emergency, or college business, it is the student's responsibility to find out what classwork they missed. According to the student handbook, after a student misses the equivalent of two weeks of class sessions, the instructor has the prerogative of assigning a grade "F" for the course. Since this course is a pre-requisite to the Nursing Program, attendance will be kept and forwarded to the Nursing Department.
If no work is submitted within one week of the due date, and/or the instructor has not been contacted, the instructor has the prerogative of assigning a grade "F" for the course.
Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity is expected of all students. Dishonesty includes claiming credit for work others completed, lying, plagiarizing, cheating on tests, and copying other students' assignments. A single incident of violating academic standards of integrity may result in an "F" for the assignment, an "F" in the course, or expulsion. A violation of academic standards will be reported to the Chief Academic Officers. The student(s) involved in the incident may appeal any action through the Grievance Procedure. Plagiarism is a very serious offense and includes copying from other students, purchasing completed assignments, copying from textbooks, claiming as one's own work the ideas of someone else, not giving credit to a source (whether the source was directly quoted, paraphrased, or summarized), or citing a source incorrectly.
