  Homework will count toward 40% of the course grade.
  
  
  
• Projects: Two Projects will be given during the semester and will assess understanding of in-class lectures and homework. Each project will count 30% toward the course grade.
  
  
IMPORTANT All assignments must be submitted on time to receive full credit. Late assignments will be accepted within two weeks of the due date but will incur a penalty of 10% of the total possible points for the assignment for each day it is late. After this period, late work will no longer be accepted. It is the student's responsibility to manage their time and ensure all assignments are submitted promptly.

The Book Lending Program is an initiative to ensure the academic success of First-Generation students (students who are the first to go to college in their families who meet a particular estimated family contribution [EFC] level). Funded through alumni donations, this program provides books and other classroom materials, when needed, for First-Generation students who could not otherwise afford to purchase them. Books are returned at the end of the course, to be used by other First-Generation students the next semester. The program works alongside the Library and faculty members to ensure the availability of books and classroom materials.

The Student Emergency Fund was established by the Associated Students of the University of Redlands (ASUR), funds are available to students who are unable to meet immediate, essential expenses due to temporary hardship related to an unforeseen or emergency situation. Our goal is to provide flexible assistance in a timely manner to help students continue successfully in school. The distribution of funds is agreed upon by committee comprised of representation from Student Affairs, ASUR Cabinet, and Student Financial Services. Awards are not considered loans and do not require repayment. Some funds may be considered income and are therefore subject to federal taxes. The average award ranges between $25 and $400. Students may only be awarded assistance from the ASUR Student Emergency Fund once during their undergraduate career at the University of Redlands. Go to ASUR Emergency Fund App - Presence

These endowed funds in Student Affairs can be used to support student success and remove impediments that otherwise may cause the student to stop or leave school. To utilize this fund, divisional leadership should be made aware of the student in dire need of financial support. This support can be anything from personal expenses, such as utility bills, gas money, emergency trips home due to family tragedy, off-campus counseling, and other medical costs, and occasionally mental health assessment expenses. Students receive grants based on their financial need.
