developmental course.
EXCUSED ABSENCES FOR RELIGIOUS HOLY DAYS
A student shall be excused from attending classes or other required activities,
including examinations, for the observance of a religious holy day, including travel
for such purposes. A religious holy day means a holy day observed by a religion
whose places of worship are exempt from property taxation under Section 11.20,
Tax Code.
A student whose absence is excused under this provision may not be penalized for
that absence and will be allowed to take an examination or complete an assignment
within a reasonable time after the absence. The instructor may appropriately
respond if the student fails to satisfactorily complete the assignment or
examination.
CIVILITY STATEMENT
Students are expected to assist in maintaining a classroom environment that is
conducive to learning. In order to assure that everyone has opportunity to gain from
time spent in class, inappropriate or distractive classroom behavior is prohibited.
Should a disruptive classroom incident occur, the faculty member in charge may
remove the student on either a temporary or permanent basis. Students have the
right to appeal through the appropriate channels.

than 12 semester hours.
