“A C- will not be a qualifying grade for critical tracking courses. In order to graduate, students must have an overall GPA and an upper-division GPA of 2.0 or better (C or better).” Note: a C- average is equivalent to a GPA of 1.67, and therefore, it does not satisfy this graduation requirement. For more information on grades and grading policies, please visit: https://catalog.ufl.edu/ugrad/current/regulations/info/grades.aspx

17.  Homework and Make-Up Exam Policy – Late homework will receive a 20% deducted per day unless prior arrangements were made with the instructor.

If you have a University-approved excuse and arrange for it in advance, or in case of documented emergency, a make-up exam will be allowed and arrangements can be made for making up missed work. University attendance policies can be found at:  https://catalog.ufl.edu/ugrad/current/regulations/info/attendance.aspx

Otherwise, make-up exams will be considered only in extraordinary cases, and must be taken before the scheduled exam. The student must submit a written petition to the instructor two weeks prior to the scheduled exam and the instructor must approve the petition.

On all work submitted for credit by students at the University of Florida, the following pledge is either required or implied: “On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid in doing this assignment.” The Honor Code (http://www.dso.ufl.edu/sccr/process/student-conduct-honor-code/) specifies a number of behaviors that are in violation of this code and the possible sanctions. Furthermore, you are obligated to report any condition that facilitates academic misconduct to appropriate personnel. If you have any questions or concerns, please consult with the instructor or TAs in this class.

Student Services Offices under renovation until July 17th

Hi EE majors,
ECE Student Services Office is under renovation through July 17th.  We are relocated to the 229 Larsen Hall conference room.   There will be limited advising for July 6-8, 2015. If your questions can be answered through email, please email me at nicolet@ece.ufl.edu.  If you need an in-person advising session my walk-in hours for the dates above are 10-11:30 am and 2-3:30 pm.

I will be out of the office July 9-17, 2015. I  will be back in the office on July 20, 2015. I will not have access to email during that time. I will answer all emails once I return to the office on July 20.  Please allow 72 hours for a response due to the high volume of email since I will be out of the office for a little over a week.  If you need immediate assistance while I am out, contact CPE advisor Allison Gatsche at agatsche@ece.ufl.edu.

On July 20th I will only have walk-in hours 10-11:30 am and no afternoon hours because of transfer preview in the afternoon.
