Continuing Education<br />
<strong>College</strong> Credit Classes<br />
Continuing Education (CE) <strong>College</strong> Credit classes help<br />
students get a head start on their college education.<br />
Successful completion <strong>of</strong> conveniently scheduled<br />
classes will provide college-level credits. Only high<br />
school juniors and seniors in good academic standing<br />
may enroll in this new program. See the full class<br />
listing on page 4. Registration forms for these courses<br />
should be sent directly to Continuing Education,<br />
<strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>DuPage</strong>, 425 Fawell Blvd., Glen Ellyn, IL<br />
60137-6599, or faxed to (630) 942-3785.<br />
Textbooks<br />
Textbooks, when needed, are included in the price <strong>of</strong><br />
each high school credit class. Students may pick up<br />
their text at any time after May 14, Monday through<br />
Thursday, between the hours <strong>of</strong> 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.,<br />
or Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Continuing<br />
Education <strong>of</strong>fice in Glen Ellyn, Building K, Room 165.<br />
Books may also be picked up the evening <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Parent/Student Informational Session. Additionally,<br />
textbooks may be shipped directly to your home via<br />
UPS for a charge <strong>of</strong> $20 per book.<br />
At the end <strong>of</strong> the term, textbooks must be returned in<br />
good condition to the COD table at each high school<br />
site. If the book is not returned or is considered<br />
unusable, neither the student nor the high school will<br />
receive the grade report for the course until the full<br />
replacement cost for the book is paid. Textbooks<br />
are not included for college credit courses.<br />
Absences/Tardies/Exams<br />
One day in the summer program equals one week <strong>of</strong> a<br />
regular school year. Prompt and consistent attendance<br />
is mandatory to ensure the same contact hours,<br />
teaching and learning opportunities as during the<br />
school year. Students should not register for classes<br />
for high school credit if they have vacation plans,<br />
athletic camps/competitions or other obligations that<br />
prevent them from attending class. However, illness<br />
and emergencies do occur. Students are allowed two<br />
(2) absences per semester course. More than two<br />
absences per course will result in a “Withdraw” grade<br />
being issued for no credit, without a refund. Calling in<br />
a student absence does not excuse the absence.<br />
Two (2) tardies at the beginning <strong>of</strong> the day, the<br />
break, or leaving early at the end <strong>of</strong> the day per<br />
semester course equals one (1) absence. Tardies<br />
exceeding 15 minutes equal an absence.<br />
Any combination <strong>of</strong> absences and tardies that exceed<br />
two (2) “days” results in a “Withdraw” grade being<br />
issued for no credit, without refund. Every effort is<br />
made to notify the parent/guardian <strong>of</strong> absences or<br />
tardies. No special arrangements will be made after<br />
the allowed two (2) days <strong>of</strong> absence for any reason.<br />
Final Exams<br />
Final exams are given on the last day <strong>of</strong> class for<br />
each semester only. If a student is absent for the<br />
final exam, COD cannot and will not provide an<br />
opportunity for any “make-up exam,” nor will COD<br />
administer the final exam early or proctor the exam<br />
at a later time. The grade the student receives for the<br />
final exam in these cases is recorded as an “F” (zero<br />
points) and is factored into the semester grade.<br />
Parent/guardian signature on the High School<br />
Attendance Policy form constitutes understanding<br />
and acceptance <strong>of</strong> these conditions.<br />
Grading Scale/Options<br />
Upon completion <strong>of</strong> a summer school course, grades<br />
will be sent to the home address. If the student<br />
wishes to inform his/her high school <strong>of</strong> the grade,<br />
a Release <strong>of</strong> Grade form must be completed and<br />
signed before the grade is forwarded. The letter<br />
grades are A, B, C, D, F, or W (withdrawal).<br />
Letter Grade<br />
• A = 90 to 100 percent<br />
• B = 80 to 89 percent<br />
• C = 70 to 79 percent<br />
• D = 60 to 69 percent<br />
• F = 59 percent and below<br />
• P/F (Pass/Fail) is for the Illinois and<br />
U.S. Constitution Tests only<br />
Audit Grade<br />
No credit is awarded for this course. Students who are<br />
looking for enrichment only would benefit from auditing<br />
a course. An “X” is recorded on the grade report and<br />
will only be sent home. The grade is not factored into<br />
your GPA. Tests and quizzes are not mandatory and<br />
grades are not recorded. Attendance is recorded and<br />
students must adhere to all summer school policies<br />
and procedures. Audit grades are not reported to high<br />
school and audits are irrevocable. Please send a written<br />
note to the instructor if you want to audit the course.<br />
Withdrawal<br />
“W” is received from the instructor when the student<br />
has more than two absences (Two tardies = one<br />
absence) per semester course or for any violation listed<br />
in the High School Attendance Policy or the Student<br />
Code <strong>of</strong> Conduct-Appropriate Use <strong>of</strong> Computer/Online<br />
Resources Contract. If a student voluntarily withdraws<br />
from a course, he/she should contact the Continuing<br />
Education <strong>of</strong>fice to <strong>of</strong>ficially drop the course to ensure<br />
that no grade report is generated.<br />
To register, visit myaccess.cod.edu<br />

you have completed and signed the Release <strong>of</strong> Grade<br />
form provided to your student at the start <strong>of</strong> the<br />
term. This form may be turned in any time during<br />
