ATTENDANCE POLICY

 

Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered. Students absent (excused or unexcused) for 15% of their classes or more may receive an “F” for the course or maybe dropped from the course .Coming to class last or leaving early will count as ½ of an absence, coming in late or leaving early twice will count as one absence.   Class participation assignments and exams will be used to determine regular attendance for online students. A student that is compelled to be absent when a test is given, will petition the instructor, in advance for permission to take the exams given during the course. Required work completed by due dates will not be allowed to be turned in without instructor approval.
