F<60
You must notify in advance if you cannot make class on test day. The test must then be taken on the next class day. Only one late test willbe allowed.
Non-Discrimination Policy – Mineral Area College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, disability, age, religion, creed, or marital or parental status.
ADA Policy
If you have special needs as addressed by the Americans with Disabilities Act and need any test or course materials provided in an alternative format, notify your instructor immediately. Reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate your special needs. Special Needs Services is located in ( ) , 518-2152. If you are a handicapped person and cannot attend the on-site examinations, please contact the instructor to make special arrangements.
Dishonesty policy:
“…College discipline shall be exercised when student misconduct adversely affects the college’s pursuit of its educational objectives. Misconduct for which students are subject is defined as follows: Dishonesty, such as cheating, plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false information to the college” (Mineral Area College Board Policy Manual, section 5.72, IA., p. 99).
College’sPolicies:
Non-DiscriminationPolicy- Mineral Area College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, disability, age, religion, creed, or marital or parental status. For more information, call the Title VI, Title IX, Sec. 504 and ADA coordinator at(573) 431-4593or U.S. Dept. of Education, Office of Civil Rights.
ADAPolicy- If you have special needs as addressed by the Americans with Disabilities Act and need this publication in an alternative format, notify Mineral Area College,(573) 431-4593or P.O. Box 1000, Park Hills, MO 63601, at least one week before you plan to attend events or meetings. Reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate your special needs.
Tobacco-FreePolicy-
For the health of our community, Mineral Area College properties areTOBACCO-FREEindoors and outdoors. For more information on thetobacco-freepolicy, please visit
Dishonestypolicy:Cheating implies the student has dishonestly gotten an answer/information from another person or source and uses that information to try to benefit him/herself. Plagiarism occurs when a student copies other people’s written work and passes it off as his/her own. Work copied from another person (like a student) or another source (like the Internet, a book, or a magazine) will result in a zero for that assignment in keeping with MAC’s dishonestypolicy, and an Academic Dishonesty Report will be filed with the Dean of Students. A repeated incident will result in an F for this course, and further incidents could result in a student’s suspension from this college. Cheating of any kind is not tolerated at Mineral Area College.
Honors Option: The honors option is offered in this course.
