Attendance is required at exams but I will drop the lowest 2 unit exams instead of dropping only one unit exam..  The next exam dates are November 15 and December 1.  The date of the final will be announced.  The final exam will not be dropped.

During the SEPTA strike absences on days when there is no exam are excused.  However if you miss class you must get the assignments by phone (215)751-8689 or by e-mail cloveridge@ccp.edu or via my web site at http://faculty.ccp.edu/FACULTY/cloveridge or from another student and turn them in by exam day.
