INC grades will not be given, except in EXTREME emergencies. It is up to the student to bring proof, such as hospital bills, etc. Do not waste the entire semester and then beg for an INC, it will not be given. ``Student apparitions" will be given a grade of 'WU' as per the college policy

Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices

I understand the need to keep in touch with loved ones, and that cell phones are the easiest way for others to keep track of us. However, I expect that all cell phones, pagers etc. will be inaudible during class. Any student with an electronic device that disrupts the class runs the risk of loosing points from his/her average (per occurrence). If an electronic device disrupts the class during an exam, the student will loose points from his/her exam.
