GRADING PROCEDURES

  • Advisement is a pass/fail course that will earn one credit per academic year. (.5 credits per semester)

  • In order to receive a passing credit, you must earn 80% of possible points each term.

  • Daily Points:

    • 2 points – meets standard (present, on time, completing required tasks and contributing to class discussion)

    • 1 point – does not meet standard (present, but not positively contributing to the class)

    • 0 points – absent, no work made up

  • Make-up policy – When you are absent it is your responsibility to check with me to see what you missed. All late work due to missing class will be due by the next advisement period unless special arrangements have otherwise been made with me.
