ATTENDANCE POLICY

Regular and punctual attendance/participation 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 and approved by the instructor.  It is the student responsibility to provide documentation in a timely manner (before the next class meeting) as to the nature of the emergency claimed to be the cause of the absence.   The instructor of record will make the final determination regarding whether or not to excuse an absence.  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 completing all required work ahead of time if necessary.  

Required work not completed by due dates will not be allowed to be turned in late under any circumstances including approved absences. A student that is compelled to be absent when a test is given will petition the instructor, in advance if possible, for permission to take the exam early. There will be no late or make-up exams.

There are no make-up projects, or make-up participation points or exercises of any kind for any reason. 

Students must remain in good standing in order to remain in the course.  Attendance/participation is required in order to establish and maintain that good standing.  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.

Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is __November 8, 2018_____________
