Instructor Policies

Participation: Students are expected to maintain satisfactory progress in this class.  Satisfactory progress includes completion of assignments and participation in learning activities on a regular basis as stated in this syllabus. Students should not neglect class participation for any reason other than an emergency, as determined by the instructor (i.e., death in the family, health).  

When nonparticipation becomes excessive , in the instructor's opinion, and minimum course objectives cannot be met, the student may be withdrawn from or denied access to the course. If a student is withdrawn by the instructor for nonparticipation, a grade of “WT” (withdrawn by teacher) will be recorded on his/her permanent record.

Drop: If on Census Day (approximately one quarter of the way through 
the semester) you are not actively participating with the reasonable 
expectation of successful completion of the course you will be dropped 
by the instructor.  Active participation is defined as completion of the 
majority of assignments and tests, and 
participation in discussion/group activities.  No opportunity for 
tuition refund is given.  

All other drops are the responsibility of the student and may be 
completed through Pipeline or by contacting a  Butler  advisor.
