Extensions may be granted on a case-by-case basis for a lengthy illness or family crisis. Students who fail or do poorly on a test should see me when the test is returned to inquire about re-testing.

3. Students with an unexcused absence may possibly not be able to make up work.

4. Cheating will not be tolerated, including the copying of homework assignments. A grade of zero will be recorded for both parties involved in cheating. Repeat offenses could result in a grade of “F” for the semester.
