My Student Info, under Academic Profile, Grades, for grade reports.

1. Students are expected to attend class sessions on time and prepared (Note: CIS 123 class sessions are optional attendance). Students should bring whatever they need to take notes to every class.
2. Students are expected to spend time outside of class completing assignments.
3. Food and beverages are not permitted in the classrooms or labs. See a more detailed policy at http://kermit.kishwaukeecollege.edu/~dklick/foodDrinkPolicy.html
4. A familiarity with computers and the Windows operating system is expected.
5. Depending on the assignment, both digital and hardcopy versions of assignments may be required for submission. The procedure for submitting digital copies of assignments will be explained in class. Make sure you always keep a copy of all of your assignments. The instructor is NOT responsible for network failures, server failures, or student mistakes.
6. The instructor answers many questions via email. Due to the high volume of requests, submissions, and questions received via email, the instructor must prioritize responses. Most questions will be answered (or at least acknowledged) within 48 hours. If you do not get a response when you expect one, please keep in mind that your email may have failed to reach the instructor, or may have automatically been rejected by an email client or server. Please try to contact the instructor again and possibly use the phone or an in-person visit if email is failing.

1. Assignments are to be turned in on time. Assignments which are not turned in on time will not be accepted unless individual arrangements are made in advance with the instructor. In unusual cases where late assignments are accepted, the cost of being late is ten percent of the total possible points for every portion of a day late, up to a maximum of three days late. For example, an assignment received twenty-five hours past its due date will lose twenty percent of its total possible point value (because it is two days late). Assignments which are received more than three days (seventy-two hours) late will not be accepted and are not worth any points. Exceptions may be made to this rule if the student contacts the instructor before the due date and makes special arrangements in advance with the instructor. All late acceptance decisions of this nature are left solely to the discretion of the instructor. This rule does not apply once answers to an assignment have been distributed or posted. Assignments submitted after answers have been released are worth zero points even if the answers are posted one minute past the due date.
2. Answers to assignments may be posted online, handed out in class, or sent via email by the instructor. Once an answer to an assignment has been released, no further submissions for the assignment will be allowed. This rule supersedes all other rules about when late assignments may be accepted. In general, the instructor will try to wait at least forty-eight hours before posting or distributing solutions, but there is no guarantee, so get your assignments in on time.
3. Tests are to be taken at the day and time scheduled. Failure to take a test at the scheduled time may result in a grade of 0 for that test. In the case of an excusable absence or a genuine emergency, the instructor must be contacted as soon as possible, preferably before the scheduled test, to reschedule the makeup of that test in the Learning Skills Center on the day the student returns to campus.

Class attendance is strongly encouraged. You are responsible for whatever was covered in class, whether you are there or not. If you must miss a class, it is your responsibility to contact the instructor and make arrangements for notes, handouts, or announcements that were missed. Although attendance is not counted toward the final grade, there may be coursework which is done during class time which may count toward the final grade and may not be able to be taken outside of class time.

It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of Kishwaukee College Policies & Resources found on this link: www.kishwaukeecollege.edu/kcsyllabuspolicies
