INSTRUCTOR'S NOTE: Students will be required to take three unit tests and the final exam in the Greenville Tech Distance Education Testing Center (DETC) on the Barton (Main) campus in the Dental Building room 350. If you live outside the Greenville metro area, you must work with the DETC staff to arrange a proctored test setting. It is the responsibility of the student to secure a proctor at an alternate location. This must be done within 1 week of the beginning of the semester to have sufficient time to approve and secure a proctor! Any authorized employee of a community college or university, such as testing proctors, instructors, professors, or counselors may serve as proctors. Friends, relatives, employers or students may not serve as proctors. A community college testing center, a public library, and a high school with night school program have served successfully as proctored sites in the past. There may be a fee associated with the administration of tests by a proctor and the student is responsible for paying this fee. Once the proctor has been secured, the proctor?s application should be printed from the online office website, www.college-online.com, completed and mailed. Questions should be directed to the DETC staff at 864-250-8020 or DistEdTestCtr@gvltec.edu. No tests will be mailed to proctors until all paperwork has been completed and returned. The final grade in this course will be based on three unit tests, My Math Lab (MML) online quizzes, one project and a comprehensive final exam.Each unit test will count 18%, the comprehensive final exam will count 30%, the project will count 10% and the average of the MML online quizzes will count 6% of the course grade.

DISTANCE LEARNING ATTENDANCE POLICY: In order to avoid access denied status, students should make contact with their instructor within the first three days of class. Attendance in an online class is defined by correspondence and the student is expected to demonstrate, at least once a week, that he/she is actively involved and is corresponding in the class. Examples of activities that can be used to demonstrate this involvement include, but not limited to the following: posting/receiving e-mails, participating in online course discussions via bulletin boards and chat rooms, and completing and submitting course assignments.

Students not meeting the minimum attendance/correspondence requirement may be withdrawn with a grade of "W" or "WF" based upon the student's academic standing at the last date of attendance/correspondence. Email through WebCT will be the primary means of communication, especially when the student is having difficulty answering a question or solving an exercise or a problem. For your instructor to help you effectively, please provide as much information as possible when communicating and it is the student's responsibility to check all virtual correspondence (email, bulletin board) regularly. College Online strongly encourages communication with your instructor.

WITHDRAWAL POLICY: Students are responsible for completing the required forms for dropping/withdrawing from course(s) and failure to do so will result in a performance grade, usually a grade of" F ". Click here for the last day to withdraw: Important Dates
