DRAWING PROJECTS:  Project due dates are listed on the assignment sheet.  Each project is due at the beginning of the specified class session.  For each class session a project is late, 10 percent will be deducted:

ATTENDANCE:

Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class session.  In the event of an absence, it is the student's responsibility to make sure he/she is caught up with the work and material covered prior to the next class session.  After three absences, each additional absence will result in a 50 point deduction.  Tardiness is recorded as an absence.

WITHDRAWAL POLICY:

A student may withdraw from a full semester course via WebPal, SMART, or in person, up to and including the twelfth week of the semester.  No withdrawal will be processed after that date.  The withdrawal deadline is prorated for any course less (or more) than the full semester.  In specific, it is the student's responsibility to drop a course.  No "instructor drops" will be initiated.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:

The policy set forth by Monroe County Community College for academic dishonesty will be strictly enforced.  The following statement is only a small part of the academic dishonesty policy.  For more information, refer to the College Catalog.

DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE

* Probable cause - reason to believe, based on reliable information, that academic dishonesty has occurred and that a particular student has committed an act of academic dishonesty.
