Make Up Hours
What is a Make Up Hour?
Make Up hours are unique to Marine Technology here at CFCC. Since
Marine Technology students take a training cruise aboard the DAN
MOORE each semester, they will be missing a week's worth of
work in all their other courses. Cruises are a separate course that
is registered into and of course students may not be counted in two
courses at the same time. State regulations allow M.T. students to
miss a week of school for cruise as long as the time missed is made
up. To "make up" for this missed time, there is an extra hour
scheduled for each of the courses in the block schedules of each Marine
Technology section. These Make Up hours are designated MU on
the block schedules. Make Up hours are used at a one hour per week
rate until a week's worth of hours are "made up". Enough Make Up hours
are held to cover for time lost due to cruising [e.g. a 3 hr per week
class will hold 3 one hour Make Ups].
Certain cruises may extend over a weekend and into a second week
with more than one week's class time being missed. Additional state
regulations allow for this and call for the students to be counted
as on a field trip in their other courses. Instructors scheduled
to teach M.T. sections are informed of the cruise schedule for each
semester so they can know who is cruising when.
When to start holding the Make Up hour for a class
is at the discretion of the individual instructor; some start at
the beginning of the semester, some wait until the later weeks of
the semester.
Cautions to M.T. students taking classes outside
their cruise section Block Schedule:
Classes taken outside of one's cruise section block schedule of
course DO NOT have the built in coverage of scheduled Make Ups.
Any hours lost due to cruising will have to be handled as part of
the individual student's allowed absences (20%) [Instructor's take
note]. It is greatly appreciated when Instructors can and do work
with these students allowing catch-up of work or tests missed. Students
finding themselves in this situation should contact their individual
Instructors of the affected courses early in the semester and make
whatever arrangements they can. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT TAKING COURSES
OUTSIDE THE BLOCK SCHEDULE IS THE STUDENT'S DECISION AND S/HE IS
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE ATTENDANCE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS/HER CHOICES.
