Each student is responsible for ensuring the integrity of his/her own work.  Cases of academic dishonesty will result in either zero points or administrative withdrawl from the Mortuary Science Program.  There will be no tolerance for missed due dates, assignments, projects, quizzes or tests.  IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO GET ASSIGNMENTS AND SUCH TURNED IN AND IN ON TIME.  If you wait until the semester is over to resolve an issue with missing assignments, projects, exams, etc., then it will be too late.  ALWAYS KEEP COPIES OF YOUR WORK (projects, assignments, clinical paperwork, etc.).  Students should have a back up plan for computer problems.  Most public libraries have internet access for students' use.

ALL course work is expected to be typed with correct grammar, punctuation and spelling.  PROOF READ your work before submitting.  Failure to do so will result in a lower grade. 

It is the responsibility of the student to keep track of the assigned work and due dates.  There is ample time given on course assignments to complete them on time.  If a student is having difficulty accessing the internet or navigating the course they should contact the instructor immediately.  DO NOT wait until the end of the semester or assigned week to contact the instructor.

LATE WORK (Assignments/Projects):

• 1-2 days after due date (includes Saturday and Sunday) will result in an automatic 10 point deduction.
• 3-4 days after due date (includes Saturday and Sunday) will result in an automatic 20 point deduction.
• 5 days after due date (includes Saturday and Sunday) will result in an automatic 30 point deduction.
• Anything submitted after the 5th day of being late will be given a grade of ZERO (0).
• Unless a specific deadline is given within the course, all assignments and projects not received by the day of the final, will result in a grade of  0 (ZERO).

QUIZZES/EXAM MAKE-UP POLICY:

• No quiz or exam make-ups will be given.  You are given at least 3 days to take a quiz or exam.  There is ample time given to plan ahead to take your quiz or exam.  Remember to have a back-up plan in case of computer problems.
• If you miss the Final Exam, no make-up will be allowed. 

FINAL EXAM:

• Your FINAL EXAM is scheduled for Monday, May 11^th, 2015.

Attendance

Class attendance should be regarded as an obligation and all students are expected to attend class and be punctual when doing so in all the classes in which they are enrolled.   If you miss a class, it is the STUDENT'S responsibility to obtain the missed notes from a classmate. Attendance will be taken during each class period and during lab each day.  A portion of your final grade will be determined by your in-class participation during lab. At times we will be discussing certain aspects of lecture and related material. Your feedback and active involvement is essential during group and/or class discussions. If you are not in class, you can not participate; consequently, you will not receive credit for this area.

Every three (3) unexcused absences a student has will result in one (1) letter grade deduction on their final grade.
