ATTENDANCE POLICY (NCTC GENERAL POLICY)
Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered. All absences are considered to be unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies as determined by the instructor. It is the student responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval and judgement by the faculty member. Approved college sponsored activities are the only absences for which a student should not be held liable and only when provided by a college official ahead of the absence. Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work. Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless they have reasons acceptable to the instructor. A student who is compelled to be absent when a test is given should petition the instructor, in advance if possible, for permission to postpone the exam. Student will be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instructor who feels the student has been justifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to
Preclude meeting the course’s objectives. Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)
Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is April 3, 2020.
RANCH HORSE II SPECIFIC ATTENDANCE POLICY
- Students will receive 20pts for attending class each day. An absence whether excused or unexcused will result in a point reduction in the attendance/participation portion of the student’s grade
- Excused-minus 20pts; Unexcused-minus 60pts; 5th Cumulative absence-letter grade drop; 6th Cumulative absence-student will receive an “F”, it is the student’s responsibility to drop the course to get a “W”.
- THREE TARDIES will count as an unexcused absence.
- Permission to make up work for an excused absence will only be granted in advance and/or at the instructor’s discretion. It is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to notify INSTRUCTOR and arrange for makeup of missed work.
- NO make-up work for UNEXCUSED absences.
