Disclaimer: Normally we waive deadlines, modify grade requirements, or otherwise accommodate those occasional students who suffer injuries, severe illnesses or other unforeseen problems, without disrupting the flow of coursework for the remainder of class members. Because of the small, but greater than normal, possibility of a large-scale disruption this year of unknown magnitude, ranging from a slightly elevated class absence rate to a temporary closure of the entire university, due to the H1N1 (swine) flu virus, we reserve the right to modify any of the class policies, schedules and requirements stated in this syllabus. Any changes would most likely affect items in sections I, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, X and/or XI. Our hope is that no changes will be necessary. For your information you may access the letters sent by Academic President John Tanner to faculty and by an unnamed university spokesperson to students regarding this matter. In response to item #3 in President Tanner's letter, we have inserted boxes for you to submit your email address and your cell (or other) phone number with your CID# request. Out intent is to make those two information items available to all class members. (This will be done via an emailed list.) If you do not want to make your email address and/or cell number available to other class members, then leave those boxes blank when you specify your CID#.
