12. Course Policies and Standards

a. Other grounds for a failing grade:
 Unexcused absences of more than 20% of required number of hours per term
 Unexcused absences during term exams forfeit the student’s opportunity to take the exam any other time.
b. Any form of cheating warrants a null score in that particular examination.
