Any absences over 10 days total for the semester (excused or unexcused) will need to be recovered following the recovery procedures.
Late/Missing Assignments
If you were in attendance when an assignment was given and do not turn the assignment in on its due date, the assignment automatically becomes a grade of 60. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you were absent when an assignment was given and do not turn the assignment in within FIVE days of your absence, the assignment will automatically become a 60. If you fail to turn in the assignment before the Test for the Unit in which the assignment was given then you will receive a 0 for that assignment and will not be allowed to make-up the assignment.
