Grade posting:
I believe that I have the responsibility to return your test scores and
projects as quickly as possible. Each
student will be given a random number at the beginning of the term. It is the student’s responsibility as well as
mine to protect the privacy of your random number. Grades will be posted on my web site at http://www.augustatech.edu/cis-t/cis-103G.htm. You will always know your grades and be able
to track your progress.
Disabilities
and Counseling Policy: If there is
a student in this class who needs testing or classroom accommodations due to a
disability, please visit the instructor’s office to discuss any testing or
accommodation needs.
Attendance
Policy: It is essential
that education programs meet requirements and standards necessary for
successful employment. In view of the
intensive nature of the education programs, it is necessary for every student
to be present and on time for all classes as it is required in the “World of
Work.” Absence from more than 10 percent
of the scheduled class sessions is excessive.
Actions taken in response to excessive absences and tardies are at the
discretion of each instructor and may include an adverse impact on academic
grades, work ethics, and referral to the appropriate Dean for further action,
including suspension and expulsion. A
student who has been suspended for attendance reasons has the right to appeal
in writing and will remain in school during the appeal process. When the appeal process is completed, the
final decision is made retroactive to the date of the original notice of
suspension. Suspension from a course can
influence a student’s financial aid status.
