Make-up tests: in order to take a make-up test you must contact the instructor before the test with a valid excuse.
Late homework: homework will lose 10% of its value for every day after the due date down to a miniumum of 50%. All late homework must be received before final week.
Academic Integrity: Academic integrity is the cornerstone of the university and will be strongly enforced in this course. Any student caught cheating on any assignment will be given an “F” for the course and will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct.
Disability Accommodation: Accommodations may be available if you need them in order to fully participate in this class because of a disability. Accommodations may take some time to implement so it is critical that you contact Disability Services as soon as possible. All accommodations must be approved through Disability Services, located in the Student Resource Center on the Lower Level of VSSC. (360) 546-9138
