you are not expected to disclose any details concerning your disability though you may

The syllabus should also contain an explanation of how the instructor will determine grades. All
faculty members are required to submit copies of class syllabi to the Academic Programs
Assistant in his or her area. (See
IV.C.Grades)
IV.B.2. Tests
Some form of evaluation should be given in all courses early each term, preferably by the end of
the second week. Frequent quizzes and written work should be assigned during the term; all
written work should be graded carefully and promptly; frequent conferences should be held with
the students concerning their work. Because the College emphasizes that a clear and pleasing
prose style is the surest mark of an educated person, faculty members are expected to require
high standards of good writing of all students in all courses. Records of students' grades and
course work not returned to students
should be kept on file for at least five years after the course
has ended.
IV.B.3. Final Examinations
Final examinations are scheduled for three-hour periods. Students take final examinations at
regularly scheduled times. If a student is unable to attend a scheduled examination because of
illness or other serious cause, he or she will be permitted to take a delayed examination if an
acceptable excuse is presented to the instructor of the course. When possible, the instructor's
permission to take a delayed examination should be obtained prior to the time scheduled for the
examination.
IV.C. GRADES
Instructors are cautioned to report an "I" (“incomplete”) only when a student is doing satisfactory
work in a course and has a genuine reason for allowing assignments to be incomplete at the end
of the course; most students who do not complete assignments during the regular term deserve an
"F" in the course. For a complete description of all grade notations, as well as the College’s
policy on incomplete grades, please see the College
Catalog .Grades are reported twice a term: at mid-term and at the end of the term. Mid-term assessments
are requested by the Records Office at the end of the first half of the term and are distributed to
the student's advisor for consultation purposes. Mid-term assessments are available on TheSIS
