Addressing Incidents of Sexual Harassment/Assault, Dating/Domestic Violence, and Stalking

In accordance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, MCCCD prohibits unlawful sex discrimination against any participant in its education programs or activities. The District also prohibits sexual harassment—including sexual violence—committed by or against students, District employees, and visitors to campus. As outlined in District policy, sexual harassment, dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking are considered forms of "Sexual Misconduct" prohibited by District policy.

 District policy requires all college and District employees in a teaching, managerial, or supervisory role to report all incidents of Sexual Misconduct that come to their attention in any way, including but not limited to face-to-face conversations, a written class assignment or paper, class discussion, email, text, or social media post. Incidents of Sexual Misconduct should be reported to the college Title IX Coordinator. MCCCD will provide on its Title IX Coordinators web page, a link to all the Title IX Coordinators in the district.  Reports may also be reported at:https://district.maricopa.edu/consumer-information/reporting.

• Assignments are required and will be due at the beginning of class. They will be worth 15% toward the final grade. The assignments will consist of the problems on the MOER Homework site. Late homework will not be accepted. Late homework is defined to be any homework that is completed after the beginning of class on the day it is due.
• You should show detailed work on your assignments in your notebook, which will be a valuable resource for the class. Use that notebook regularly, and refer to it while studying for quizzes and tests. 
• If you get an assignment problem wrong you are allowed to redo it. You will get three attempts per question version.  If you miss a question three times, you can regenerate a similar problem for full credit.  You can regenerate a new problem infinite times.  This means you can get a 100% on every assignment.  
• It is important to spend time learning the concepts before you start the assignment.  You should read the textbook, and watch any required videos before you start your assignment. 
• Each assignment has a due date on the calendar and listed in the gradebook.  Assignments are due at 8:30 am. 
• Late Passes:
• You will be given a number of late passes to use to complete late homework assignments for full credit. 
• Late passes can be used on homework assignments only.  They may NOT be used on any pre-class work, quizzes, or tests. 
• The late passes will extend any given due date by 5 days from the original due date.  You must use the late pass before the end of the 5-day late pass "window.”  For example, if you click on late pass on day 3 of the "window", you only have 2 extra days to complete the assignment. 
• You may only use 1 late pass per assignment.
• After you use all the late passes, you cannot submit any work late for credit.  It would still be recommended to complete the assignment for your learning, but you will not be receiving credit for that work.
• To request a late pass, click on the late pass link next to the assignment. You may click on late pass EARLY. If you end up completing the test on time, you can UN-USE the late pass to get it back! PLAN AHEAD!
• You can always review the correct answers to an assignment within each question or through your online grade book.
  
  Late homework will not be accepted. Late homework is defined to be any homework that is turned in after the beginning of class on the day it is due. All work must be completed by the official end date even if a late pass extends a due date past the official end date.
