Instructor Course Policies
You are expected to attend every class. If there are unforeseen circumstances that prevent you from attending, it is your responsibility to get the notes, homework problems, etc. on your own from another student. Excused absences are limited to medical, college representation, and family emergencies, all of which require formal documentation. More than three absences (excused or unexcused) will reduce the final grade by a letter grade per subsequent session missed. See the current Student Handbook for the college’s Attendance Policy.
Institutional and Program-Level Policies
All exams will follow the Final Exam Schedule. Students scheduled to take three or more final examinations on one day may request to arrange their examination schedule, so no more than two exams occur on one day.
Requests for early or late exams are considered only under extreme circumstances. Prior to the exam period, the student must file a written request on the Early/Late Exam Form available in the Student One Stop Center, Academic Records, and on the WC portal. The form must be signed by the Instructor and the Academic Dean, approving the alternate exam time. This process must be completed prior to the scheduled exam period.
Undergraduate: FA26 Final Exam Schedule
Out-of-class Work Expectation A minimum of 2 hours of out-of-class student work is expected for each hour of in-class time for traditional face-to-face courses. For online and hybrid courses, the combination of face-to-face time and out-of-class work should be equal to 3 hours per credit hour per week. |
