Mediated Mathematics At Home Use Policy
If a student wishes to work with Academic Systems software at
home the student must adhere to the following:
- The student must attend all classes. The college attendance
policy of no more than 20% absence for a class will be required
of all students except those in Math 158.
- The student may seek permission from his/her instructor
to use Academic Systems at home after demonstrating and maintaining
an 85 average or better any time after the first 2 weeks of class.
At the discretion of the instructor students may seek an exception
to this rule.
- If a student has fallen below 85 the student must bring
their average up to 85 to regain this privilege.
- All Evaluate tests must be completed during class or in
the math lab only.
- The student who uses Academic Systems at home is responsible
for installing his/her CD and software on the computer (See the
Internet Client instructions that accompany your disk.) and being
