Make-Up & Withdrawl Policies

Make-Up:
A student must submit a written reason why he or she will miss a deadline. This has to be at least 24 hours
BEFORE the deadline.

The student and instructor may then select a new deadline for the work, which the student will confirm in writing.
If the student does not turn in the late work by the second deadline, the student fails that missed assignment.

Withdrawal:
Students may withdraw from the class up to the accepted withdrawal deadlines in the college. Students may write and
ask the instructor to sign a late withdrawal slip and the instructor will sign the form if the withdrawal is requested before
the mid-term. Withdrawing from the class after the mid-term is at the discretion of the instructor.

Note: It is the sole responsibility of the student to withdraw from the class. The instructor may or may not drop a student
who is not participating, but will definitely give a failing grade to a student who is not submitting work.
