General Class Policies

·         No food or drink is permitted in any Montgomery College classroom at any time.

·         Because assignments and quizzes are due almost every class period. You are responsible for all work missed, and for meeting assignment due dates when absent. Please call or email your instructor if you are going to be late or absent.

·         You are strongly encouraged to contact your instructor at home by phone or e-mail if you are having difficulties, or have any questions about assignments.

·         All assignments are expected to be the result of your own efforts, not the collaboration with others. Plagiarism or turning in an assignment, which is essentially identical to that of another student, will result in a zero for that assignment, with no opportunity to make up the grade.

·           Any student who may need an accommodation due to a disability, please make an appointment to see me during my office hour. A letter from Disability Support Services authorizing your accommodations will be needed. Any student who may need assistance in the event of an emergency evacuation must identify to the Disability Support Services Office, which  is located at 122CB.
