ATTENDANCE POLICY (NCTC’s 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)
EQUINE BUSINESS MANAGEMENT CLASS SPECIFIC POLICY REGARDING ATTENDANCE:
- Attendance and participation is STRONGLY suggested to get the most educational benefit possible.
- Notification of an EXCUSED absence is to be made before or right after class time through email/canvas. Office phone number may also be an acceptable form of contact to instructor. In case of an emergency, it is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor and arrange for makeup of missed work. Permission to make up work for and excused absence will only be granted at the instructor’s discretion. It is the STUDENTS RESPONSIBILITY to notify INSTRUCTOR, and arrange for makeup of missed work.
- NO make-up work for UNEXCUSED ABSENCES
Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is APRIL 4, 2019.
