ISBN: 9781284274004 Platinum Planner EMS Testing ATTENDANCE POLICY Attendance is mandatory. If a student is tardy (2) times it constitutes (1) absence. Greater than (3) absences throughout the semester may result in a deduction in (3) points or greater to your final grade and will be determined at the time of occurrence(s). Any anticipated absences must be reported to the instructor as soon as possible via email. An excused absence should be arranged prior to absence, when possible. When it is not possible to give prior notification, an unexcused absence will be recorded. To change classification of an unexcused absence to excused it will be on a case-by-case basis. Documentation for any excused absence will be required. Additionally, students with perfect attendance will have (10) additional points added to lowest Mid Term or Final test grade. Students with (1) absence will be eligible for (9) points added to their lowest Mid Term or Final test grade. DROP POLICY If you wish to drop a course, you are responsible for initiating and completing the drop process. If you stop coming to class and fail to drop the course, you will earn an “F” in the course.
