Attendance/Absence Policies:
Disciplined attendance is strongly encouraged. A student missing a total equivalent of two weeks
of class work will be dropped.
School policy requires dropping students with poor attendance. Poor attendance will severely
impact your classroom performance.
Grading policy/scale: The grading for the course will be as follows:
A
90-100 %
B
80-89
C
70-79
D
60-69
F
<60
You must notify in advance if you cannot make class on test day. The test must then be taken on the next class day. Only one late test
will be allowed.
Non-Discrimination Policy – Mineral Area College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender,
disability, age, religion, creed, or marital or parental status.
ADA Policy

alternative format, notify your instructor immediately. Reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate your special needs. Special
Needs Services is located in ( ) , 518-2152. If you are a handicapped person and cannot attend the on-site examinations, please
contact the instructor to make special arrangements.
Dishonesty policy:
“…College discipline shall be exercised when student misconduct adversely affects the college’s pursuit of its educational objectives.
Misconduct for which students are subject is defined as follows: Dishonesty, such as cheating, plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing
false information to the college” (Mineral Area College Board Policy Manual, section 5.72, IA., p. 99).
Honors Option: The honors option is offered in this course.
