TEST POLICY: The midterm and final are monitored exams that must be taken from home using a remote monitoring software. The midterm and final exams are closed-book and closed-note tests. All cell phones must be turned off during the exams. Students will not be permitted to use cell phones, Bluetooth, headphones or any listening device during the exams. Students cannot access external websites or other materials during the proctored exams.
While quizzes can be completed at home, students are expected to abide by the college’s academic honesty policy while completing these assignments. All work submitted must be your own. Copying, plagiarizing, and receiving/giving assistance during a quiz is not permitted. This also includes accessing websites such as Google to get answers. It is very important that you put yourself in a “test” environment before taking your exam. You must take the time to assess your abilities without relying on assistance to complete your assignments.
ATTENDANCE/PARTICIPATION POLICY: Your attendance and participation in this class are vital to your learning and to your success in the course. Consequently, regular weekly participation is expected.
- Attendance is defined by completing an academic assignment.
- You must complete an academic assignment in MyLab Math and in iCollege each week. It is suggested that you complete assignments on at least two different days of the week to manage the workload of the course.
- You should devote at least 6 hours each week to this course in the fall/spring and 12 hours per week in the summer. Completing the assignments and additional studying may take additional time each week. Students are responsible for all material provided in each lesson.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY: The midpoint of the semester (as noted in the Important Dates section) is the last day for a regular withdrawal. Students are permitted to withdraw with a grade of W a maximum of three (3) times in the associate degree program at Perimeter College. The limit on withdrawals does not apply if a student withdraws from all classes during a term before the midpoint. However, students are allowed to withdraw from all classes prior to the midpoint twice without having their withdrawals count against them. Students who withdraw from a class after the limit has been reached will automatically receive a grade of WF in their classes. Several things to remember about withdrawals are stated below.
- Although a W does not affect your institutional grade point average, a W negatively impacts your HOPE grade point average and your financial aid eligibility. For additional information on this, consult the Financial Aid Office.
- Withdrawals count against your completion rate for making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) which is required to keep financial aid.
- Your instructor will not withdraw you from this course (aside from the administrative withdrawals mentioned below.) You must withdraw yourself if you find this is the best course of action for you. You do not need to go to campus to withdraw. Withdrawal requests can be made in PAWS.
- Students cannot withdraw after the midpoint.
ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWAL: If you do not take and complete the syllabus quiz with 100% within the first week of the course, you will be reported as NEVER ATTENDED and will be withdrawn from this course. Your grade will be posted as a W. (Please note unless you are reported as never attended from all of your courses, you will owe tuition money for this course.)
INCOMPLETE POLICY: Assignment of incompletes by an instructor follows the university policy on incompletes. In particular, incompletes can be assigned at the discretion of the instructor and not the student using the following criteria.
- The student must have completed most of the major assignments of the course (generally all but one).
- The student must be earning a passing grade in the course in the judgment of the instructor.
- A schedule for completion of assignments must be approved prior to the assignment of the incomplete.

The Department of Mathematics at Perimeter College of Georgia State University has the right to regard finding unauthorized material in your possession/use or calculator memory or cell phone and having other windows open during any test or the final exam as cheating.
