OBJECTIVE:

A continuation of skills learned in ACC 110, students develop additional skills in recording transactions to specific areas of accounting including: accounts receivable, inventories, plant and equipment, asset valuation, notes receivable and notes payable and recording stock, cash dividends and stock dividends. This is an intermediate course in accounting. There will also be emphasis on calculating and recording payroll. Prerequisites: Placement into ACCT& 201 or completion of ACCT 110 with a 2.0 GPA or higher.

MAKEUP POLICY: 

Missed Assignments - only under special circumstances. Not automatically permitted.
Missed Exams - the general rule is "no", I want you to focus on the future, not the past.

MISSING TIME: It is a student's responsibility to find out from other students what information or assignments were "missed" and if necessary to create a "catch up" plan. For Financial Aid purposes,  some attendances can be made up (see your instructor) . Attendance may be taken at anytime during the period. If you come in late or leave early, it is your responsibility to immediately notify your instructor on that day.

TIMELINESS:    Being on time is important on the job and in this class. Not only is tardiness disruptive to the classroom, the skills and habits you develop now will directly affect your future employability. The two most commonly asked questions by potential employers concern attendance and attitude!

DISABILITY: If you are a student that has a mental or physical disability that substantially limits your ability to learn, it is recommended that you contact the Special Populations counselor in Student Services, Bldg I Room 225. The information acquired during a visit with the Special Populations Counselor is confidential and could be used to help you succeed in your program. Renton Technical College is very interest in your success.
