As per HCCS policies, stated in the Student Handbook, the instructor has full authority to drop a student after the student has accumulated absences in excess of 10 hours, including lecture and laboratory time. However, it is recommended that the student be responsible for dropping the course if he or she has been absent more than 10 hours of class. This policy will be strictly enforced, particularly for veterans. 4. MAKE UP TEST POLICY: The lowest exam grade will be dropped, so there is no need to make up exams. Only under exceptional circumstances an exam will be made up the last day of instruction before the final exam, such as in cases of emergency surgery or the death of a relative. However, the listening section of the test will not be repeated for make-up tests, resulting in the students forfeiting the points ascribed to the listening sections. Only one test can be made up. 5.
