Tutoring for Success applies to any student whose overall performance in the course falls below 75%. The instructor will create the task in the Student Engagement Portal (Watermark) to direct the student to the appropriate tutoring service, which may be faculty- or SI-led, discipline-specific, and/or general. The tutoring service assigned, the due date for when the tutoring must be completed, and the amount of tutoring required are at the discretion of the instructor. Additionally, the task will alert the student’s success team. Students who do not fulfill the assigned tutoring task may be subject to program- and course-specific penalties that could result in a grade reduction and/or in not being allowed to progress in the course until the tutoring requirement has been satisfied.
Students who do not attend class on or prior to the census date will be administratively dropped. Effective Fall, 2016

1. Regular attendance is essential. This class is interaction oriented. 3 absences will
result in a loss of one letter from your final grade(if you have an A and are
absent 3 times, you will end up with a B). An additional 3 absences will lower
grade another letter. And so on, and on.
2. I can’t stand tardiness. If you are late more than 6 times, you will lose one letter
grade from your final grade. You are considered late if class has already started
when you arrive. See #1 for example.
We all experience unexpected difficulties. If you are going to be absent or late, and
you know ahead of time, let me know ahead of time. I will not count you absent. If you don’t know ahead of time, keep me informed. However, if you are absent, excused or not, more than 4 times, your grade will suffer at the discretion of the instructor.
4. Any makeup or late work will NOT BE ACCEPTED unless student makes
arrangements with the instructor. This means all due dates pertaining to the
class, for the classroom or online.
5. Anyone using an electronic device for anything other than in class exercises will be
asked to leave the class.
6. Discussions in this class may contain adult (18 years of age and older), mature
content, including but not inclusive to questionable language, subject matter of sex
and violence, and difference of opinion. If you are not of age or do not wish to hear
this content, then you may need to excuse yourself or withdraw from the class.
7. The last day to drop this class on AC's master calendar .
