DEVELOPMENTAL MATHEMATICS COURSE POLICIES

ATTENDANCE AND CLASSROOM PARTICIPATION

Any student in a developmental mathematics class who misses more than the equivalent of one week of class during the first three weeks of the semester can be dropped from the class. The instructor may have an additional attendance policy which affects a student’s final grade. Active classroom participation is essential to the learning process. One cannot participate if one is not in class. Students are responsible for learning the material covered in class even if they are absent.

ADMISSION WITH CONDITIONS COURSE TAKING POLICY

Students with any academic deficiency, ACT/SAT or Pre-College Curriculum, will be required to enroll each semester in at least one course that fulfills an academic deficiency until all academic deficiencies are successfully completed.

Students must successfully complete all academic deficiencies prior to completing 45 earned hours. Should students fail to complete all academic deficiencies by 45 earned hours, they will not be permitted to continue enrollment at NKU. Students may attend another college to take courses which meet their academic deficiencies and then later return to NKU to finish their degree.

REPEATING CLASSES

According to University policy, there is a limit of three attempts to pass a Developmental Mathematics class. A grade of F, W, or K is considered one attempt. Students who fail to complete a course in three attempts are subject to reclassification from degree-seeking to non-degree seeking status.
