Assignments are required to be submitted in Word.doc. Any other submission is not guaranteed a successful submission. It is the student's responsibility to check the assignment preview to make sure the assignment uploaded. If an assignment is uploaded blank, it will be given a grade of 0.

*** If after two weeks of coursework, a student's grade is under a 70, an academic retention alert will be sent to the advisor and financial aid department.
*** The instructor will also require a student with a below 70 grade to get tutoring with the instructor or at one of the AC tutoring centers.
The instructor reserves the right to subjectively influence the final grade relative to class attendance, participation, and attitude.
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Since this is an online course, attendance is tracked through your course logons and any assigned work being completed and submitted on time (just logging on without doing anything will not earn you any points).
You are expected to invest at least as much time as you would in a traditional seated course. A traditional face to face three-semester-hour course meets three hours in class and requires an additional two hours of study time outside of class for each hour spent in class (for a total of 9 hours per week). You should treat this class as you would any other college course. Since this is an 8-week course you will need to double this number. Allocate 15-20 hours per week for this course and any other 8-week course.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY:
Students who wish to withdraw from a class must have permission from their instructor. Students must either email or meet with their instructor to begin the withdrawal process. The instructor will then submit a withdrawal case for the student in the Retention Alert system in ACConnect.
Students will be notified by Registrar’s Office via their AC email once the withdrawal request has been completed.
The Texas Education Code stipulates that students attending Texas institutions of higher education for the first time in fall 2007 and later may not withdraw from more than six courses during their academic career, including courses from which transfer students have withdrawn at other Texas institutions of higher education. There are certain exceptions to this policy and petitions for exceptions should be directed to the Registrar.
