                                                             This report MUST be turned in on time to receive any extra credit points!    

IX.    ATTENDANCE:   Regular class and lab attendance is expected! Failure to attend class does not constitute an
                                         automatic withdrawal.

                                         Students wishing to withdraw must follow College policy and time lines. The student is
                                         responsible for all information and assignments given in class during their absence.
                                         The student is expected to be prepared for any exam or quiz when they resume classes.
                                         Exams are primarily based on lecture, lab, and video materials. 
                                         Students arriving late to class will not be given additional time to complete an exam.

                                  IF YOU MISS A REGULAR EXAM DATE YOU MAY TAKE A MAKEUP EXAM AS
                                  DESCRIBED BELOW

                            The written portion of the make up exams consist of 10 complete essay questions therefore a

     greater amount of time should be allowed to
                 complete these tests.  Students that have done well in the past have taken 3 to 4 hours to   

     complete the makeup exam.

                            The photo potion of the make-up exam is the same format as the original though the structures
                            to be labeled will vary.

                            The make up exam is to be completed no later than 2 weeks after the regular exam and
                            must be taken at an appproved location. 

X.    FOR TECHNICAL HELP:

WITH THE ONLINE LECTURES OR CD CONTACT ME!

WITH BLACKBOARD AND OTHER ISSUES FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW...DO NOT CONTACT ME

If you experience a technical problem, you should call the 24/7 Customer Care Technical Support at 216-987-HELP
to receive technical phone support in the following areas:  Blackboard, Login issues (password resets),
Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office, & Tri-C email

Some technical support issues may not be able to be resolved over the phone.
While the Customer Care Technical Support team will work diligently to assist students,
it is possible that personal computer problems may require the student to contact outside technical support for assistance.

There are computers available for student use at each Campus Technology Learning Center (TLC) and your local public library.
These resources should be used to keep up with your coursework while you work to resolve a computer problem.

COMPUTER PROBLEMS OF ANY KIND ARE NOT AN EXCUSE FOR WORK THAT WAS MISSED!

XI.    DISTANCE LEARNING CLASSES:  Information regarding distance learning classes can be found at the website - http://londonwebsite.info

XII.  WITHDRAWAL:   Withdrawal from a course for academic reasons must be initiated by a student prior to the withdrawal deadlines published  in the Class Schedule booklet each semester. Withdrawal must be in writing on specific forms available in the Office of Admissions and Records at each campus. Students who officially withdraw from a course prior to the last day of the second week of the semester will have no notation made on their permanent record. While an instructor may withdraw a student for excessive absences as outlined above, students not attending classes for any reasons should not expect an instructor to drop them officially from class. It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from class officially by completing a withdrawal form from the Office of Admissions and Records by the deadline date. Failure to do so could result in an “F” grade for the course.

                             XIII.  INCOMPLETE (I) GRADES:    An “I” (incomplete) grade means that a student

                                            has not completed course requirements as outlined in section on “Evaluation Procedures” due to circumstances judged by the instructor to be beyond the student’s control. The student must request an “I” (incomplete) grade. It is not granted automatically.  Incomplete grades must be removed no later than the sixth week of the academic semester.

XIV.  ACADEMIC CREDIT: aware one (1) semester hour of college credit, the Ohio Board of Regents require two hours of significant student study outside the class for each one hour in class for the equivalent of an academic semester (16 weeks). This is a two credit hour class with two hours of lecture. Therefore, the required course load requirement is four hours of effective student effort per week for the entire semester. Course requirements have been designed to comply with the requirements of the Board of Regents. Make sure you can give this course an average of 4 hours a week by prioritizing your time accordingly. Proper planning, prioritization and dedication will enhance your success in this course.

XV.  CHEATING: Any student found cheating or plagiarizing would be withdrawn from class with a letter grade of F. Cheating includes but is not limited to copying from another student’s exam, quiz or homework assignments. This includes both present and past students.

XVI.  AMERICAN WITH DISABILITIES ACT STATEMENT: Any student with a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, visual, hearing, etc.) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations may contact The Access/Disabled Student Services office. If you suspect you may have a condition that would hinder your academic performance, the Access/Disabled Student Services office may be helpful in making a disability determination. Please contact the office at 987-4290.
