COURSE POLICIES:
CLASS ATTENDANCE: Class Attendance per SSU Catalogue (available online)
Savannah State University endeavors to provide optimum conditions for the intellectual growth and development of its students. With the exception of University approved activities, it is expected that students should attend and be punctual to their classes, laboratories, and officially scheduled class requirements. Students who are absent because of participation in approved University activities will be permitted to make up work missed during their absences, provided that no more than 15% of class hours per course per term are missed and that work is assigned for completion prior to the University sanctioned activity.
Students are allowed 5 absences for the semester. After five absences, the student’s grade will be reduced by 10 pts. The student should save these absences for emergencies and illnesses. Class roll will be taken at the beginning of class. A student will be considered tardy if not present when the roll call is completed. Three tardies equal one absence.
PARTICIPATION : Class attendance is mandatory along with completing the work assigned in class. Homework will be collected occasionally, but it is in the best interests of each student to complete homework every day.
CLASSROOM COURTESY: Private conversations during class and leaving early are discouraged. Cellular phones must be off during class time. If a student continues to use the cellular phone after the warning, I reserve the right to drop him/her off the roll.
TESTS: Tests must be taken when the student is present. There will be no make- up exams.
CHEATING: If students are caught cheating on an exam or with cheat sheets, they will receive a zero for that exam.
*Savannah State University is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to students with documented disabilities, as required under federal law. The purpose of disability accommodation is to provide equal access to the academic material and equal access to demonstrate mastery of the material. Students with disabilities must meet all the academic requirements and standards of the class, including the attendance policy. If you have a disability and need accommodations, please contact Amelia Castilian-Moore, Coordinator of Disability Services at (912) 358 3115 or moorea@savannahstate.edu. The Office of Counseling and Disability Services is located in King Frazier 233. You will need to meet with Ms. Castilian-Moore, who can help you gather documentation of your disability or refer you to an appropriate resource for assessment. Once documentation of the disability is gathered and approved, Ms. Castilian-Moore will provide you with an Accommodation Letter, detailing the appropriate, approved accommodations, which you should present to me so we can discuss and implement your accommodations.
