      2)   Dismissal from program.

Attendance Policy: Students are REQUIRED to attend school on the first day of class.  Only extreme circumstances with prior notification will be considered.

Students are expected to attend all scheduled theory and laboratory classes. Because of the large volume of material covered each day, and because laboratory experiences validate learning objectives, it is extremely important that absences and tardiness be kept to a minimum. Good attendance helps ensure success in the NCTC Cosmetology program.

Students are responsible for all missed announcements and course content. Student’s regular and punctual attendance is expected at NCTC to further their education and attendance grades will be applied to each course enrolled in.  Students must meet 80% of their required hours.

 

Students should notify their instructor by 7:30 am if they will be late, or they will not be able to clock in for that day.

Before dropping the course:

  • Contact your instructor to let them know
  • Verify the drop date

A student may withdraw from a course on or after the official date of record. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate and complete a Withdrawal Request Form.
