Special Remarks:
1.	All announced examinations will be made up of multiple choice, completion and short essay type questions and will be given during regular class periods. Make-up exams will only be given if prior arrangements have been made.
2.	Attendance: College policy states that students may be dropped from enrollment when absent 20% of the scheduled class meetings. If enrolled from the beginning of the term, 15 hours will usually constitute 20% of a four-credit semester course which meets five hours per week.

If prior arrangements are made or extenuating circumstances exist, makeup of tests may be allowed. Late homework papers will not be accepted unless those same extenuating circumstances exist. Makeup of quizzes is to be at the instructor's discretion.
