A student is considered tardy up to 15 minutes into the scheduled lecture or lab, and thereafter will be considered a non-participant for that period of instruction.
 
A sum of two tardies is equivalent to one non- participation period.

Late work / Test Policies 

All students are required to be present for class.  However, unexpected circumstances will occur.  If a student has an excused absence, death or illness in the immediate family, the student must notify the instructor of record immediately.  If a test is missed, the instructor has to give permission for make up. The missed test must be made up before the next scheduled period of instruction. 

An excused absence only allows for make up of missed assignments or test. The absence is recorded.
 
Assignments are due at the beginning of class of the set due date. Late assignments will not be accepted and a grade of “zero” will be earned for said assignment. Students who prior contacted the instructor may be considered excused.
