READ THIS AGENDA CAREFULLY I have reviewed the contents of this agenda. I will take responsibility for it, and use it as an essential scholarly tool. I intend to write all my assignments in it, and to track my academic progress toward graduation. I must have the agenda with me every day and I will not be released from class without carrying the agenda with me. I also understand that if this agenda is lost, damaged or stolen, I must purchase a new agenda at the replacement cost of $5.00.
