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.

This withdrawal limitation does not include dual credit or developmental classes (Senate Bill 1231 Rule 4.10.)

Testing Policy
Exams will be administered using Respondus Lockdown Browser to ensure exam integrity.
During the testing period, the student may take a break, however, no additional time will be allowed for the test. Only one student at a time may leave the testing room.
Calculators may be used during exams and will be made available on the Respondus toolbar.
Make-up policy: There will be no make-up offered for the section quizzes. If you anticipate missing a section quiz, you may take it before the assigned date but the maximum score will be 75%.
The student will not be permitted to look at or keep any of the exams.
All testing will be done online using your personal laptop or tablet. A component of being a “professional” is having the proper equipment and being ready, both mentally and physically for any situation. This includes making sure your laptop or tablet is ready for testing. IT recommends that you do the following:
The night before the exam:
If you do not bring your laptop/tablet or it fails to function for the exam, you may be allowed to use a program loaner laptop. However, there are only two loaner options so if these are unavailable, you will have to take the exam at a later date with the late penalty applied to your test grade. If you do not own a laptop/tablet, please see the instructor prior to the first test date.
