Comprehensive Course Guides

Each instructor will receive a class set of Comprehensive Course Guides for each Learning Support class that s/he teaches.  Each student should receive one of these documents that describes the Learning Support policies for the course.  Please read it carefully and explain it to your students thoroughly.  After you have explained it to your students, each student should sign the Signature Sheet to signify that he or she has received the policies for the course and understands them. If you need help with this procedure, please contact your Department Chair.  Because of liability issues, it is extremely important that students be informed of these policies at the beginning of each semester.
