Appropriate and immediate action can often mean the difference between life and death, permanent or

environment for the trained individual and for all those which one comes in contact.

D.
Class Absence/Tardy Policy:
#Excused absences must be documented by the student and approved by the instructor. It is
the responsibility of the student to see the instructor to verify an excused absence. Otherwise,
the absence will be considered unexcused, therefore the possibility of grade deductions may
occur.
#Class Tardy - after class has begun the door will be closed and students will not be allowed
to enter the classroom. DO NOT KNOCK ON DOOR! If an assignment is due the student
will be allowed to turn in the assignment immediately upon the conclusion of class, if it is
not turned in at this time, the assignment is considered late.
#Leaving Class - students should go to the restroom, get water etc. before class starts. The
student is expected not to leave class once class instruction begins. If there is a emergency
or potential for emergency you will be excused from class during instruction.
#Regardless of a student's semester grade, he/she will not receive credit for any course in which
the combined number of absences exceed the number established by Mississippi College. Note
the following statement from the current Mississippi College General Bulletin:
A student receives a grade of F in any course immediately upon accumulating the following
-3-
number of absences in that class:
12 in semester classes meeting 3 times per week
8 in semester classes meeting 2 times per week
4 in semester classes meeting 1 time per week
6 in summer day classes
Proportionate numbers in classes on other schedules.
If a student misses more than the number of class periods specified in the university policy and
believes that there are reasonable explanations for the absences, he/she may appeal the absences
to the Dean of the School in which the course is being taught. Students may obtain a Student
Absence appeal Form from the Dean’s office.
#Makeup for Absences: Students are responsible for making up work missed. If
handouts are given, they should arrange to have another student in the class get their
handouts. Makeup tests for full credit are given for excused absences only. Refer to the
course schedule for makeup test date. If a student should miss a test, the test may be
made up if the student was on school business, ill or due to a death of a loved one. It is
up to the student to provide a written doctor’s excuse or documentation to the
instructor. If documentation is not received the next class period the student returns to
class or if a test is missed for any other reason the highest possible grade to obtain is
75. Email is not considered documentation.
F.
Late Assignments: No Projects are accepted late, no exceptions. Note due dates for
assignments located in the course outline.
G.
Final Exam: The final exam will cover material prior to the test which has not been tested on
previously. Graduating seniors with an 85 average may be exempt.

prior approval.
J.

student is found to be using any electronic devices the student will be asked to leave class
and if these are used while taking a test the student will receive a zero.
K.

L.
Early Alert System
Mississippi College has adopted the practice of finding students early in the semester who
may be exhibiting behaviors that could ultimately have a negative impact on their academic
progress. These behaviors are often called “red flag” behaviors and include, but are not
limited to, excessive absences, poor test grades, and lack of class participation or evidence of
-4-
non-engagement. Identifying these behaviors early gives the instructor the opportunity to
raise the “red flag” on behalf of a particular student so that the student can take the
appropriate action to redirect his/her progress. The system alerts the student, the student’s
advisor, and the Office of Student Success.
M.
These messages are intended to help a student recognize an area of concern and to encourage
him/her to make some choices to improve the situation. When a student receives an Early
Alert message, the student should quickly make an appointment to talk with his/her
professor about the situation. Also, students can make full use of the Office of Student
Success to set academic goals and connect to campus resources.
Students with Disabilities
In order for a student to receive disability accommodations under Section 504 of the
Americans with Disabilities Act, he or she must schedule an individual meeting with the
Director of Student Counseling Services immediately upon recognition of their
disability (if their disability is known they must come in before the semester begins or make
an appointment immediately upon receipt of their syllabi for the new semester). The student
must bring with them written documentation from a medical physician and/or licensed
clinician that verifies their disability. If the student has received prior accommodations, they
must bring written documentation of those accommodations (example Individualized
Education Plan from the school system). Documentation must be current (within 3 years).
The student must meet with SCS face-to face and also attend two (2) additional follow up
meetings (one mid semester before or after midterm examinations and the last one at the end
of the semester). Please note that the student may also schedule additional meetings as
needed for support through SCS as they work with their professor throughout the semester.
Note: Students must come in each semester to complete their Individualized
Accommodation Plan (example: MC student completes fall semester IAP plan and even if
student is a continuing student for the spring semester they must come in again to complete
their spring semester IAP plan).
Student Counseling Services is located on the 4th floor of Alumni Hall) or they may be
contacted via email at mbryant@mc.edu . You may also reach them by phone at 601-9257790. Dr. Morgan Bryant is director of MC Student Counseling Services
