The grading scale may be adjusted as necessary after all grades are in, but not before. Any such adjustment would be to lower the low end of the intervals.

Attendance will not be taken on a regular basis. However, excessive absences may be reported to the Dean, and in extreme cases the Furman University policy on attendance may be invoked (see the Furman University Catalogue, page 46).

If you miss a scheduled exam or assignment, you must either have a valid medical excuse, signed by the appropriate authority, or you must have made arrangements with me prior to the absence.

Students with disabilities who need academic accommodations should contact the Disability Services Coordinator, Susan Clark, in a timely manner prior to contacting me during my office hours. Susan Clark's office is in the basement of the infirmary and her phone number is 294-2322.
