Make-up work
A student who misses classwork, or deadlines due to absence, including being tardy or leaving
early will be ineligible for make-up or late submission. The student will receive a zero (0) for
missed work. Classwork is defined as any lab, competency, quiz, activity, or discussion that
occurs during scheduled class hours.
Tutoring
Tutoring will be scheduled at the discretion of the instructor or Academic Dean.
Exams & Quizzes
An exam missed as a result of an absence may be made up within 5 regularly scheduled school
days. The student must initiate the request to reschedule on the first day s/he returns. It is the
student’s responsibility to schedule time outside the student’s regularly scheduled class hours to
take a missed exam. Not rescheduling on the day of return, or not appearing for the rescheduled
time will result in an automatic zero (0). An exam taken after the course’s original exam
scheduled date will have its grade reduced by one letter grade. A student arriving late for a test or
quiz will only be given the remaining time allotted for taking the test or quiz to answer as many
questions as s/he can. Additional time will not be given in order to complete the test or quiz.
Quizzes cannot be made up. Quizzes and tests may include material from any previously taught
material in this course. The final exam will be comprehensive.
MAINTAINING SATISFACTORY ATTENDANCE STATUS
Attendance is mandatory. All absences are unexcused. Review your school catalog for specifics
of satisfactory attendance, probation and terms of dismissal.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Students are expected to abide by the policies established in the school catalog. Dress code is to
be followed as outlined in catalog.
If you miss a class, it is up to you to obtain a copy of any notes from your fellow classmates and/
or request any handouts or missed work from the instructor. It is also courteous and professional
to call the school and inform the instructor, PD and/or Dean of your absence, just as you would
an employer.
This course will require a great deal of individual effort. If, for any reason, you are experiencing
problems in this course, please speak with the instructor immediately. Do not let any problem
continue to grow until it is too late or unmanageable.
In addition to class time, you are expected to spend time outside of class time on assignments
and activities to help you achieve the course objectives. Your outside class time should be spent
reading the textbook materials, developing outlines and notes for exam preparation, memorizing
theory, and practicing application of theory. For practice, complete the chapter activities in the
textbook, utilize the web resources associated with the text, and perform any other practice as
assigned by the instructor. Details of weekly activities will be in your course schedule.
[INSTRUCTOR: Insert your expectations of behaviors that have not been provided in the school
catalog or syllabus. If points are to be deducted from the grade for any reason, it must be
explained to the student in this section. No points are to be deducted for absences, tardiness or
leaving early. Nothing in the syllabus or addendum is to contradict the catalog or Concorde
