The instructor will create the task in the Student Engagement Portal (Watermark) to direct the students to the appropriate tutoring service, which may be faculty- or SI-led, discipline-specific, and/or general.

Professional industrial workers understand the importance of being on time and having the required tools, books, and materials needed to successfully complete the job. Professionals understand the need to follow rules and regulations established by the employer, government regulatory agencies, and insurance companies. You will be graded accordingly.
Full attendance and participation in class and lab are regarded as a requirement and an obligation for learning. Students will be allowed to make up one excused absence with the prior approval of the instructor. Four absences will result in a failing grade for the semester, this equals 25% of class missed. Any absences or tardiness need to be emailed to the instructor prior to the scheduled class meeting for consideration of the exemption.
The class will begin promptly at the designated time for class, any student arriving after this time will be counted tardy and lose pts. for the meeting. Students must return from breaks promptly and on time. Students must be released by the instructor before leaving the class or lab meeting.
Students must legibly sign in and out of class and lab to be counted present.
The Class schedule is subject to change due to Federal and AC holidays and school closures.
