School districts, schools, and teachers set their own attendance policy. Regular class attendance is expected.
In many cases-especially in language classes and in writing classes-the learning and practice that occurs during regular class meetings simply cannot be "made up. Consequently, attendance in class may contribute to determination of the course grade.
UMD uses A-F grading
to establish the quality of performance achieved at different grade levels.
CITS teachers define grade standards for their courses in conformity with
the UMD department's policies.
Using their best judgment and after consulting with the CITS faculty mentor,
CITS teachers may choose to assign different grades for the high school
course and for the UMD course. Only the UMD grade appears on the UMD transcript.
If a student cancels a class within the first eight weeks of the UMD semester, or in a trimester, the first two weeks, the school district will not be billed for the student's tuition. If a student officially cancels at any time after the above deadline, no refunds are granted.
Scholastic dishonesty is "any act that violates the rights of another student with respect to academic work or that involves misrepresentation of a student's own work. Scholastic dishonesty includes (but is not limited to) cheating on assignments or examinations, plagiarizing (misrepresenting as one's own anything done by another), submitting the same or substantially similar papers (or creative work) for more than one course without consent of all instructors concerned, depriving another of necessary course materials, and sabotaging another's work(CLA).
