Attendance and Participation Policy
During the first week of class, you
must complete an activity from the online orientation or you will be
administratively withdrawn from the course. Simply logging into the course will
not satisfy your attendance during this time. As with an on-campus course,
students who are reported for non-attendance in an online course and are
withdrawn are still responsible for paying for the course. If you do not
complete the requirements of the first week of class, you should drop the
course by the official drop/add deadline or expect to pay for the course.
It is very important for you to
actively participate in this online class. If you stop participating in class
discussions, do not submit assignments, or fail to take quizzes or tests prior
to the withdrawal date, you will be administratively withdrawn from class and
receive a W or, if it is your third attempt, an F.
If you stop participating after the withdrawal date, you will receive an F. To avoid this situation, you should remain an active learner in this class and always communicate extenuating circumstances to your instructor. Ongoing communication with the instructor is critical to your course success. Completion of tests, assignments, and other class activities are used as indicators of your participation in order to satisfy this reporting requirement. See the list of activities required for participation and attendance on the General Course Policies page.
