For sections meeting 4 days a week in a full 15-week term, any student with 8 unexcused absences who is at risk of not successfully completing the course (as determined by the instructor) will be dropped from the course and access to MyMathLab will be denied. Arriving to class more than 10 minutes late will count as an absence. For sections meeting 2 days a week in a full 15-week term or for sections running in a compressed 8-week term, any student with 4 unexcused absences who is at risk of not successfully completing the course (as determined by the instructor) will be dropped from the course and access to MyMathLab will be denied. Arriving to class more than 15 minutes late will count as an absence. A record of each student s class attendance will be kept and this record will be the basis for 3.5% of each student s course grade. REQUIRED LAB HOURS NOTEBOOKS INCOMPLETE POLICY SSC POLICIES Each week, all students are required to work two hours outside of regular class time in the SSC.
