Pass/NoPass Option: You are registered for a letter grade unless you complete
a Pass/No Pass form with the Registrar by the end of the second week of the
quarter. Instructors are not notified that a student has changed to Pass/No
Pass status, and must assign a letter grade to all students. With the Pass/Fail
option a grade of A, B, or C translates to a Pass grade; a D or F grade results
in a No Pass grade.
Drops: It is the responsibility of the student to drop or withdraw from the
course if necessary. You should notify the instructor and follow the procedures
to drop or withdraw indicated at the Foothill website. Please see the class
schedule for more information on drop dates, etc.
Honor Policy: Foothill College expects the highest standards of honesty from
all students. Any student who exhibits behavior which, in the judgment of the
instructor, indicates dishonesty on an examination or assignment, including
those electronically produced, or who aids in the dishonesty of another student,
shall receive no credit for that work. Incidents of dishonesty may result in
a grade of “F” for the quarter and will be reported to the Dean of
Student Affairs. You are expected to work alone for assignments and exams. When
in doubt ask the instructor.
