ATTENDANCE 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)

 

Attendance in this class will be based on completing assignments on time.

  • Any student who does not complete any assignments the first 4 weeks of class will be dropped from the class.
  • Any student who does not complete 8 or more assignments will be dropped from the class.  (If it is after the drop date, the student will receive an “F” for the class)
  • Any student who does not complete all tests will receive an “F” for the class.
  • Any student who does not complete the final project will receive an “F” for the class.

 

 

 

*If a student is not present the first day of class they must schedule a face-to-face/online meeting with the instructor to review the syllabus.

*The last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is October 30th
