NOTES:

1.    Any missed lecture or laboratory exam will not be allowed to be made up without a 20% grade reduction. A total of one exam will be allowed to be made up with the above penalty applied. A missed exam in excess of one will not be allowed to be made up and the points for that exam will be lost toward the final grade.

The exception to the above will be when (a) a student knows in advance that he/she will miss an exam and arranges with the instructor to take the exam prior to the regularly scheduled class time for the exam or (b) a student is absent from class due to PERSONAL MEDICAL reasons. In this case, in order to not be penalized for missing an exam the student must present ON THE DAY OF RETURN TO CLASS a physician's prescription stating: (i) the reason for medical absence from class and (ii) the inclusive dates of medical absence from class.

Any missed exam for whatever reason must be made up prior to or during the next regularly scheduled class.

2. There are absolutely no make-up of quizzes.

3. It is fully expected that the student read assigned textbook readings prior to each class. Questions for exams will be drawn from both lecture and textbook material.

4. Please refer to Schedule of Courses Directory for Withdrawal SignatureSchedule  and Class Attendance Policy. Both will be adhered to for this course.

5. It is written policy that a student cannot withdraw from a course in the Department of Health and Exercise Science in the last two (2) weeks of the regular semester.
