Make-up work:

All reading assignments are due before the class hour for which that reading is assigned. Exams missed because of an illness or an excused absence according to university policy may be made up at the convenience of the instructor and the teaching assistant only if proper documentation for that absence is provided by the student.

All requests for excused absences must be in writing and on paper. This request must be stapled to the make-up test at the time the test is made up. All requests for excuses based on medical emergencies must be accompanied by full documentation (e.g. copy of physician's excuse form). Family emergencies (e.g. death in the family) must be handled through the Dean of Student Life, who will provide an authorized letter to your instructors. A request sent by any other means (including email, phone, and/or the human voice) will result in an unexcused absence.

The Honor Code:

Cheating (representing another's work as your own) in any form will be taken very seriously. The University Honor Code will be enforced and you are responsible for knowing and abiding by its standards.
