Disability
statement: “Reasonable accommodations are available for students who have a
documented disability. Please notify the instructor during the first week of
class of any accommodations needed for the course. Late notification may cause
the requested accommodations to be unavailable. All accommodations must be
approved through the Disability Resource Center (DRC) in Administration Annex
206 (Tel. 335-1566).”
Incomplete
Policy: Students must let the
professor know that an Incomplete “I” grade will be needed and the reason
for the Incomplete. Incompletes will
only be considered if all materials, except course project, are submitted, e.g.
midterm, final, and portfolio materials, by the end of the course.
This would leave only the course project to be completed.
Incompletes must be cleared by the end of the next semester.
If Incompletes are not completed by the end of the next semester, the
student must retake the class to have the grade change submitted.
