Make-Up Work/Due Dates-Students are responsible for making up any work missed due to an absence. They will have one day for
each day absent to complete the work and turn it in without penalty. It is the responsibility of the student to ask the instructor for
missed assignments.

the student has been absent and is entitled to additional time beyond the grading period to complete the work. In this
instance, a student would receive an Incomplete on the progress report/report card and the grade would be adjusted once
the assignment is turned in.
Cheating Policy
Students copying work from others, providing work to others, sharing information on a test or individual assignment, and failing to
cite or give credit to another author in their written reports will automatically receive a “0” on that assignment and a referral to the
