Tardy Policy:  A student who is late three times (enters classroom after the instructor has taken roll) will be charged with one full absence unless he/she can provide valid reasons for these tardies.

Assignments/Missed Exams:  It is the student's responsibility, whether present or absent, to obtain all material presented and to complete all course assignments.  If prior arrangements are made or extenuating circumstances exist, deadlines may be negotiated.  Tests will be provided on Blackboard Vista over several days, which should eliminate makeup tests.  10% of the total points will be deducted for late projects and tests.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:

 

The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor.

12.

ADA NOTICE:

 

Any student eligible for and needing academic adjustments or accommodations because of a disability should inform the instructor during the first week of class and provide the instructor with a copy of the letter of accommodation at the beginning of the semester.
