2. Late assignments, including labs, will not be accepted after a one-week grace period, and will be entered as a zero (0) in the gradebook.

(9)

3. All assignments must be completed using a word processor.

4. Students are responsible to see the instructor about any work missed due to absence. 5. Students who miss a quiz must take the quiz within two classes of the original quiz date. 6. Students are expected to participate as a member of teams

7. Students must pass both the Skills based portion in addition to the Academic portion of the curriculum to pass the course.

8. Student’s final grade can only raise one letter grade above the on-line final exam score based on other class assignments.
