CO reflects classroom behavior, participation, & tardiness. If the student cheats on a quiz/test, a score of zero and a “U” will be given. To remove the zero and “U”, a new version of the quiz/test must be taken and 10 lunch periods of peer tutoring must be served. A “U” will be given if the student is caught chewing gum, 3 lunch periods of paper-pick-up will remove it by the next grading period. A “U” will be given to students who are sent to the Dean or do not complete the paper-pick-up assigned to them.
