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

Exams & Quizzes
An exam missed as a result of an absence may be made up within 5 regularly scheduled class days from the first day
the student returns to class. 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.
