Course and Campus Policies

Course Policies

- Instructor Response Time - Response times vary, but as soon as possible.  Longer response times over the weekend.
- Course Participation & Attendance - Attendance is just as important in an online class as it is in a classroom class, so attendance will be mandatory in this course just as it is if you were to take a class  in-person. Student attendance in online courses is defined as active participation in the course. Online courses have mechanisms for student participation, which is documented by any or all of the following methods:
  - Completion of a quiz.
  - Submission/completion of assignments (through assignment drop box, discussion board or other means as described in the course).
  - Communication with the instructor
  - Logging on to and accessing assigned course materials
  - Failure to do the above could result in a drop in a letter grade at the end of the semester.
- Grading Policy - The grading policy is detailed on the course syllabus
- Course Schedule
