SPECIAL NOTES

• If you have a disability and think it might impact your  work in the course, please let me know. If you have a disability and  desire accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, please contact the Office of Disabled Student Service,  816-235-1083.

• UMKC's Severe Weather Policy. If the weather turns bad, I'll also try to post info  on the course Bulletin Board and/or check a voice message on my phone  816-235-2345. Listen for announcements on the radio or TV. 

• Course withdrawal must be initiated in the Bloch School Student Services Office,  RM 115,  and completed through the Registration Center in the Student Services Building. Students intending to withdraw  are required to obtain the signature of both the instructor and academic advisor before the course withdrawal is official.  Telling me that you intend to withdraw or ceasing to attend class does not constitute official withdrawal from the course. The academic calendar in the UMKC class schedule/registration guide lists the official withdrawal dates.

• The standards for academic honesty are stated in the UMKC General Catalog.  I'll assume you know them.

• A copy of the Student Grade Appeal procedure is on file and can be obtained from the secretary in the BA Division office, RM 334 of the Bloch School.
