COURSE POLICIES:

 

·        It is expected that students will conduct themselves with integrity.  If you cheat or aid someone else to cheat, you violate a trust.  Cheating includes, but is not limited to, copying answers on exams, glancing at nearby exams, turning in assignments or papers that have been used in other classes or have been completed by another, and giving or receiving help during an exam.

 

·        Students with a disability that may require some form of accommodation need to discuss their specific situation with Disabled Support Services (DSS). If you require accommodation based on a documented disability, emergency medical information to share, or need special arrangements in case of emergency evacuation, please make an appointment with DSS. If you would like to inquire about becoming a DSS student, you may call 564-2498 or go in person to the DSS reception area in the Student Services Building (B132). If this is not done, it is assumed that the student does not have a disability requiring some form of accommodation.

 

·        Once you have registered for this course, the instructor is required by the college to give you a grade. If for some reason, you cannot complete the course, please officially withdraw. This is your personal responsibility. Students who do not officially withdraw by the date listed in the course schedule will have their grades calculated on the number of points earned by the end of the quarter. No extension of time or incomplete contracts will be allowed in this class.

 

If you have medical information to share with me in the event of an emergency, please contact me via email. Emergency preparedness is important!

 

If you need course modifications / adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, I can refer you to our Disability Resource Center (DRC).

 

If you prefer, you may contact them directly by going to B132 or by calling 425.564.2498 or TTY 425.564.4110. Information is also available on their website at http://bellevuecollege.edu/drc/
