    EIS Course Requirements

     

  • Regular attendance is mandatory.  Excessive absences will result in the student being dropped from the class. Two absences will initiate a warning to the student and three absences may result in dismissal. Whenever a student must be absent due to illness, he/she has the responsibility of notifying the instructor by e-mail.
  • A student’s grade can be affected by one letter grade because of absences and tardiness.
  • A grade of B or higher is necessary to pass an EIS class. Students who make grades of C or lower must repeat the class. If the student has to repeat, the transcript will show the two classes, but the GPA will be based on the grade of the first class.
