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
Students who wish to withdraw from a course must complete all steps indicated on the Academic Withdrawal Request form by the course withdrawal deadline.
NOTE: Students who are attending Texas institutions of higher education, for the first time fall 2007 and later, may not withdraw from more than six courses during their academic career. This withdrawal limitation does not include dual credit or developmental classes (Senate Bill 1231 Rule 4.10.) For more information on Drop and Withdrawal Policies, please visit the Registrar's Office Web site.

BIOL-2402-011 Anatomy and Physiology II
Prerequisite: BIOL 2401
Anatomy and Physiology II is the second part of a two-course sequence. It is a study of the structure and function of the human body including the following systems: endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive (including nutrition), urinary (including fluid and electrolyte balance) and reproductive (including human development and genetics). Emphasis is on interrelationships among systems and regulation of physiological functions involved in maintaining homeostasis. The lab provides a hands-on learning experience for exploration of human system components and basic physiology.

AVOID ANY APPEARANCE OF CHEATING. The appearance of cheating may result in a grade of zero for the exam or quiz and possibly a failing grade for the course. Hats and earphones are not to be worn during tests. Cell phones and smart watches or tablets are not allowed during exams. Cell phones should be set to silent during lecture and labs, and texting during lecture is not allowed. If you must take an important call or have an emergency text you must reply to, please inform the instructor before class begins. There will be no eating, drinking or chewing gum in the lab during dissections or any other time the instructor deems it a safety hazard. Any disruptive behavior may lead to removal from the lab or lecture.
The student will be expected to follow the safety rules and to notify the instructor immediately if any accident occurs. While the risk is minimized as much as possible, there is the potential for contact with electrical appliances, sharp instruments, chemicals, and organic materials, some of which may be biohazardous. Any student deemed to be jeopardizing the safety of others will be asked to leave the lab immediately and possibly permanently. Other safety rules are found in the Laboratory Manual and will be covered on the first day of class. Proper attire is required to participate in lab, including gloves, goggles and lab coat or apron. Improper attire may result in removal from the lab and a zero for any participation or exam grade given that day.
INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS/EXAMINATIONS: Each week, the student will have 3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of laboratory. The lecture accounts for 50% of the final grade, laboratory section accounts for 25% of the final grade and a comprehensive final exam will account forl 25% of the overall grade.
Lecture exams: Lecture exams, case studies, homeworks, and quizzes make up 55% of the total grade for the semester. There will be 5 exams, covering both lecture and reading material. Each exam will be worth 100 points, the lowest exam grade will be dropped. This means each exam will be worth 10% of your overall grade for a combined 40%. Quizzes will be given once or twice a week at the beginning of class. You will have 5 minutes to complete each quiz. Late arrivals to class may miss the quiz and earn a zero for the quiz that day. Three quizzes will be dropped. The average of your quiz grades will be equal to 15% of your overall grade. THERE WILL BE NO MAKEUP EXAMS OR QUIZZES. A missed exam becomes a zero or the dropped grade, and a missed quiz becomes a zero or a dropped grade.
TESTING: Science Testing Center (STC)
Warren Hall 112

MANDATORY TUTORING: Student Tutoring and Success Center (STSC)
In an effort to increase retention in Biology courses, any student who has an average below 75% must complete a 1 hour mandatory tutoring session in the Student Tutoring and Success Center.
Before getting mandatory tutoring, students must first make a appointment with the SEC by either calling or visiting. The STSC will do its best to accommodate a student’s schedule within the STSC hours of operation. This may require plenty of advanced notice by the student as time slots fill quickly. Upon arrival in the STSC, students must inform STSC staff that they are there for mandatory tutoring.
Mandatory tutoring will not require remediation over a failed test.

Withdrawal Process
Students who wish to withdraw from a class must consult with their instructor first. Students can either communicate via email or meet face-to-face with their instructor to begin the withdrawal process. If the instructor and the student both agree that withdrawal is the appropriate course of action, then the instructor will initiate a withdrawal case for the student in the Retention Alert System (AC Connect).
Dropping courses before you reach the 60% point of the semester could result in you having to pay back some of your financial aid funds. To determine this date for you specific classes login to AC Connect, click Self Service menu, click My Academic Profile, click My Important Course Section Dates.
Students will receive confirmation that their withdrawal request has been completed. The Registrar’s Office will process the withdrawal and notify both the student and instructor via AC email.
Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory achievement. It is therefore the responsibility of the student to attend class. Absences result in zeros for any missed quizzes, exams, presentations or participation grades. If you stop attending class and do not officially drop the course, you will receive an “F” for the course. A grade of “W” will be given for student-initiated drops or withdrawals. Texas law now mandates that students may only drop or withdraw 6 times in their entire college careers, excluding drops prior to the census date.
