11 Official Communication: Make-up Policy Policy on Late Work Each student should log in daily to the College's learning management system, Canvas, for class updates and other important and official communication from his/her instructor. It is the student s responsibility to be aware of his/her class schedule, attendance, and grades. Any information pertaining to a student s class schedule, attendance, and grades, as well as any and academic disciplinary action will be communicated by the instructor through Canvas. Make-up Exams: TUESDAY November 29 th 2016 TBA No more than one make-up examination will be allowed. If more than one exam is missed, a grade of zero will be given for the second exam. All make-up exams will be administered within a week prior to the final withdrawal date. Make-up exams are subject to be different from the original exam. If exams are not made up on assigned date, the student will receive a 0 for that exam. Early exams are given only by the discretion of the instructor/director for extenuating circumstances. No assignments or quizzes will be accepted after the assigned due date. A zero will be given in the gradebook. College Policy Information Americans with Disabilities Attendance Policy Reasonable Accommodations: Any student who has a disability of any kind and needs reasonable accommodations or assistance in the classroom or with this course should see the instructor. Americans with Disabilities Act: The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, state that qualified students with disabilities who meet the technical and academic standards at Alabama Community College institutions are entitled to reasonable accommodations. Under these laws a disability is defined as any physical or mental impairment which substantially limits a major life activity, a history of such impairment, or the perception of such impairment. Alabama Community College institutions do NOT provide disability documentation for students. It is the student s responsibility to provide appropriate documentation to the college office responsible for handling the request and to request accommodation. Appropriate documentation is defined as that which meets specific criteria, including recommendations to address each functional limitation of said students, as noted in the Catalog. Class attendance and participation are regarded as an obligation as well as a privilege. There is also a high correlation between class attendance and the final grade. Although an occasional absence may be unavoidable, it in no way excuses a student from meeting the requirements of the course. Participation in an institution-sponsored activity is not regarded as an absence. All students are responsible for preparing all assignments for the next class and for completing work missed. Attendance significantly affects a student s progress in meeting course requirements. A student is encouraged to attend all class meetings for classes in which he/she is registered. Absences are counted beginning with the first class meeting after the student registers; however, students are responsible for all coursework beginning with the first day the class meets Students are responsible for the knowledge, skills, and abilities not acquired due to absences and for assignments made or due from the first class Course Evaluation Policy Electronic Devices Policy The purpose of the course evaluation system at Faulkner State Community College is to improve the course content and instruction practice in ways that enhance student learning. Students are an important source of information about the effectiveness of a course and its instructors. Please respond candidly to the questions in the course evaluation for each course in which you are enrolled. In appreciation for completing course evaluations, Faulkner State Community College will grant respondents early access to view their semester grades on Interact as soon as grades have been processed by the registrar. Students who do not complete course evaluations must wait seven days after the last day of the semester to have traditional access to grades through Interact. Electronic devices such as Cell phones, Kindles, Nooks, ipads and their attending noise are distracting to both faculty and students in classrooms, labs, testing centers and libraries. 11

12 These areas are also inappropriate sites for telephone conversations. In consideration of others and to minimize distractions, all electronic devices must be turned off unless prior approval is obtained by the instructor, Dean of Instruction, or designee. Telephone conversations should be conducted in building lobbies or outdoors. The abuse of electronic devices by the students is a violation of the student code of conduct.
