very crucial is receiving full points. If you miss more than three (3) class meetings you
may not receive a letter grade of “A”.
Extra Credit:
I will give one extra credit assignment. I will tell you during the semester what
and when the assignment is due.
Withdrawal Policy:
Withdrawing from any course is the responsibility of the student. The instructor
will not do it for you! Key dates to remember:
Sept 9: Last day to declare credit/ no credit option
Last day to drop without a “W”
Nov 18: Last day to drop with a “W”
*Any students remaining on the roster following the official drop date must receive
a letter grade in the course! It is the student’s responsibility to drop the class.
Important! Drop Date Information
The deadline to drop without a “W” is the last day of Week 2 (of the semester), which is
Sunday, September 9th for Fall 2012. If you must drop a course, drop before the
specified deadline for dropping a class without a grade of "W." Dropping after Week 2
will result in a “W” on your transcript. Effective July 1, 2012 students will only have 3
attempts to pass a class. If a student gets a "W" or grade of "D", "F", “I”, or "NP" in a
class, that will count as an attempt. A student’s past record of course attempts district
wide will also be considered. Therefore, before the end of Week 2 you should carefully
consider if you can reasonably manage this course with the other factors in your life (e.g.
work, family, course load). If you think you will not be able to complete this course
with a C or better, drop by Sunday, September 9th. If you have any questions, please
don’t hesitate to talk to me. You may also see a counselor in the Counseling Center in
AD 108.
Short-term classes: Drop dates for short-term classes are not the same as full
semester classes. For specific deadline dates, please contact the Admissions Office.
