316 SUMMER/FALL 2018/SPRING 2019 CLASS SCHEDULE Attendance Students are expected to attend all class meetings for which they are enrolled. Excessive absences may result in the student being dropped from his/her class. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that he/she is dropped from the class. Students who do not attend the first class meeting of the semester may be dropped by the instructor. However, to assure no grade penalty for the course, a program change formmust be turned in to the Admissions Office within the appropriate time frame. Students on a WAIT LIST must attend the first class meeting to ensure instructor permission to add the class is obtained. Instructional Minutes Per Hour and Class Break Time For classes lasting longer than 90 minutes on a given day, the instructor must provide a ten-minute break after the first 100 minutes, and may schedule additional break time amounting to ten minutes per each additional hour thereafter. Application for Graduation/Certificate of Achievement Students who are planning to receive their Associate Degree, or a Certificate of Achievement, must file an application for the degree or the certificate on WebAdvisor. Students must complete a minimum of 30 units prior to applying for graduation. The deadline to apply for the annual spring commencement ceremony is in March. The application must be signed by a counselor. Pass/No-Pass Grading Most courses are offered on a pass/no-pass grading basis or the traditional grading basis. This option is not recommended for courses in one’s major. To change a class to or from the pass/no-pass grading basis, the student must complete the pass/no-pass line-item on the program change form. Program change forms are available in the Ad- missions Office. The deadline to change a class to/from pass/no-pass grading basis is no later than 30% of the class length. For full length classes, this is the end of the fifth week of instruction. Please see the Admissions and Records Office for classes with class lengths less than 15 weeks for the appropriate deadline. A maximum of 15 units of baccalaureate level courses may be taken on a pass/no-pass basis. These units will be allowed toward an A.A. or A.S. degree. Units taken as pass/no-pass will not be used when determining a student’s grade point average. Students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university should be aware of the policy of that institution regarding transferability of courses with pass/no-pass grading. Dropping a Class (Deadline to avoid a “W”: September 2 for fall 2018 full-term classes and February 3 for spring 2019 full-term classes) It is the student’s responsibility to officially drop a class in which he/she no longer wishes to be enrolled. The last day to drop a class is the 50% completion point of the class. The exact date is available from your class instructor. Courses may not be dropped after this date, unless there are extenuating circumstances as approved by the Admissions and Records Office Manager. Any course carried past the ninth week (50% point), will receive a letter grade. To withdraw from a class, a student may drop online by logging onto the WebAdvisor at www.reedleycollege.edu and click on the WebAdvisor link. A student may also complete a program change form and return it to the Admission Office for processing. There will be no grade entered on a student’s record for drops occurring prior to 20% of the course length. A grade of “W” will be entered on the student’s record for drops occurring between the 20% and 50% point of the course length. Graduation Requirements Graduation requirements for an Associate Degree from Reedley College may be found in the college catalog, in the Counseling Office and on page 319.
