This course adheres to the CCSF policy on evaluating attendance. The drop policy for this course is as follows:
You will be required to introduce yourself and complete a few online introductory tasks by day 3 of this course. If you do not complete this work, you will be counted as a “no show” and dropped from the course.
Attendance in a CCSF online course equals engagement in academic-related work such as the completion and submission of discussion posts, assignments, and quizzes. Simply logging-in and clicking around a course does not count as attendance. If you miss more than two consecutive weeks of coursework (= “engagement in academic related work”) without prompt communication to the instructor of an excusable absence, you will be dropped or withdrawn from the course in accordance with CCSF's attendance policies. If you are withdrawn, a W will appear on your transcript. See pg. 463 of CCSF’s Academic Policies and Procedures for an explanation of “withdrawal.”
Important: You cannot be withdrawn from a course after the semester deadline to withdraw. It is your responsibility to drop yourself ( = “withdraw”) before this deadline if for any reason you do NOT wish to finish the course for a letter grade other than a W.
Students who wish to drop themselves from the course are responsible for doing so before the semester deadlines (see CCSF's add-drop procedure).
You will not be required to log into the course until the first day of the course.
