General Policies and Expectations:

* College policy requires permission of the Department before students may register for a third attempt of a particular course. No third attempts will be allowed for any mathematics course unless the student involved successfully completes the prerequisite for that course immediately before the third attempt. No fourth attempts will be permitted except in extremely unusual circumstances.

Withdrawals  All withdrawals must be done officially by the college's posted deadline.  Late withdrawals will not be approved unless there are unusual extenuating circumstances.

References may be provided for students with a good attendance and work record. It is proper protocol to obtain permission to list someone as a reference. All requests must be in writing with pertinent information. Please allow two weeks for completion of this request.

Classroom Expectations:

Come to class on time with necessary materials, ready to work.

When tardy, please enter as discreetly as possible; when leaving early, please inform the instructor at the beginning of class and sit near the door. Do not leave the class unless necessary. Please wait to be dismissed by the instructor at the end of the class session.

During class, do not talk to classmates. Do not nap. Pay attention! Please refrain from noises such as sighs, yawns, whistles, etc.

Turn off beepers, phones, watch alarms, etc. prior to class, most especially prior to tests.

Complete class assignments as given.

Please do not review or remove materials from the instructor’s desk.

Permission is required to tape record classes, if documented special needs recommend doing so.

Permission is required to have children attend class on occasion under special circumstances.

During tests, students are not permitted to leave the room, then return to their test, under any circumstances. Please be prepared with writing utensils, tissues, water, etc. Be sure electronic devices are turned off. Show all work and be certain it is legible. Anyone with documented special needs for testing must make arrangements prior to the first test. Anyone who misses a test must be prepared to document a valid reason for a make-up to be considered; make-ups are not guaranteed and generally are not given. Students must contact the instructor within 24 hours of a missed test or assignment. Furthermore, a maximum of one make-up test per semester may be granted.

It is only necessary to call/email the instructor if an absence is on a test or assignment due date. Other absences generally do not require communications. Of course, make every effort to get the missed work; make use of the website. Please contact the instructor to cancel any appointments if they cannot be kept.

Cheating will not be tolerated; anyone caught is subject to college policy outlined in the handbook.
