The last date of attendance will be considered to be the date of the last correctly submitted assignment. 3. Assignments are expected to be submitted and exams are expected to be taken by the target dates on the course agenda. If a student misses two target dates they are considered to have an excessive absence. 4. Non-attendance of a course does not constitute official withdrawal and may result in a grade of “F.” 5. To request a change to Audit (A) or Incomplete (I), the student must be maintaining a passing grade. To withdraw from the class or to change from Credit to Audit, the student should initiate an official withdrawal through the Counseling Office at any TCC campus. . Students who stop participating in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F,” which may have financial aid consequences for the student. LATE ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKEUP WORK 1.
