to manage their time effectively. Due to the nature of this course, it is
necessary that you be computer proficient and possess the following skills:
competence in the use of email, familiarity with accessing and downloading
content from web sources, comfort with navigating possibly unfamiliar
programs (such as Blackboard) proficient use of a word processing program,
and the ability to scan and send attachments via email. Email
communication is expected through Lakehawk mail, make sure you activate
your account prior to the beginning of the semester. You will have to take
three paper and pencil tests in person at one of the Lake-Sumter State
College Learning Centers(Leesburg or South Lake). You will reserve your
“Math Online” testing time through the Learning Center webpage which
you can get to from the Quick Links menu at the LSSC website (upper right
hand corner).

The successful functioning of the academic community demands honesty, which is the
basis of respect for both ideas and persons. In the academic community, there is an
ongoing assumption of academic integrity at all levels. There is the expectation that work
will be independently thoughtful and responsible as to its sources of information and
inspiration. Honesty is an appropriate consideration in other ways as well, including but
not limited to the responsible use of library resources, responsible conduct in
examinations, and the responsible use of the Internet. (See college catalog for complete
statement.)
Any student with a documented disability who requires assistance or academic
accommodations should contact the Office for Students with Disabilities immediately to
discuss eligibility. The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) is located on the
Leesburg Campus, but arrangements can be made to meet with a student on any campus.
An appointment can be made by calling 352-365-3589 and specific information about the
OSD and potential services can be found at www.lssc.edu, then go to “Quick Links” and
click on Disability Services.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR
Part99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of a student’s education records. In
order for your information to be released, a form must be signed and in your records
located in the Admissions/Registrar’s Office.
If you miss a test (and you should not since you select your testing appointment), you must

until the after the testing period to request a make-up!). You may also change your testing
appointment time by using the link provided in the testing appointment confirmation email or by logging in to the test appointment website on the top right hand corner. Makeups may be allowed at the sole discretion of the instructor—depending on whether, in the
instructor’s judgment, the student has missed the test for a valid reason, and provided the
student contacted the instructor no later than the day of the test. The instructor may ask
the student to supply supporting documentation (such as a doctor’s note).
