College Attendance Policy Students are expected to fulfill their academic obligation by attending all class and laboratory sessions, unless prevented from doing so by illness or other emergency. If a student misses the equivalent of 2 weeks work without an acceptable excuse, the teacher may file an administrative withdraw to remove the student from the class. Individual faculty members have the right to establish attendance regulations, which may include reduced grades for students who miss class and/or laboratory.

College Withdraw Policy A student may withdraw from class without academic penalty up to the eleventh week of the semester. Failure to attend class does not constitute a withdrawal and will result in the assignment of a failing grade. Students who withdraw due to illness or some other emergency should petition the Vice President of Student Affairs for an Excused Withdrawal.

Weather Emergency Numbers In the case of inclement weather, tune to KYW 1060 AM or check www.KYW1060.com for CCP's closing numbers: 238 for day and 2238 for evening and weekend classes.

STARFISH CONNECT Starfish Connect is a communication tool for students and faculty. Through Starfish instructors can provide feedback to you about course progress. Throughout the term, you may receive progress emails regarding your academic performance. The emails are designed to be helpful and increase your success in courses. Be sure to open any emails you receive and follow the recommendations. Instructors may also recommend that you contact a specific campus resource, such as the Learning Lab or Counseling Center. If an instructor makes a referral, you may also be contacted directly by this campus service as a follow-up. To access Starfish Connect, simply log into Canvas and click on the link, Starfish Connect. You can even set up a student profile. If you need assistance with Starfish Connect, you can email questions to [email protected]

BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT FINAL EXAMINATION POLICY Your instructor is required to administer a comprehensive final examination during the final week of the semester.
