Qualified proctors include any authorized employees of a community college or university, such as testing proctors, instructors, professors, and counselors. Friends, relatives, employers or students MAY NOT be a proctor. There may be a fee associated with the administration of tests ! by a proctor. Once the proctor has been secured, contact the Testing C enter DistEdTestCtr@gvltec.edu or (864) 250-8020 for paperwork to be mailed for the proctor to complete and return. No tests will be sent to proctors until all paperwork has been completed and returned. NOTE: Minitab is required for testing! If you wish to test outside the Greenville metro area you MUST find a proctor who is willing to load Minitab onto a computer for your use! Tests will consist mainly of problems to be worked out by hand using Minitab and short answer questions (not multiple choice). Please contact Cheryl Hawkins at (864) 250-8770 or cheryl.hawkins@gvltec.edu for more details about this course. All testing will be in the testing center on the Barton campus with paper and pencil; Minitab will be available during testing.

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Students not meeting the minimum attendance/correspondence requirement may be withdrawn with a grade of "W" or "WF" based upon the student's academic standing at the last date of attendance/correspondence.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
