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)

 

Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is April 3, 2020.

NOTICE: Some grades for this course may post in Canvas. Those grades will be correct only relative

to the assignments that are graded by instructor. The course average and other numeric

computations that show in Canvas may or may not be correct. As college students you should use

the above provided format to follow your grade progress. Your final grade is obviously a sum of the

ratios of the four component grades. The very best approach is to accumulate as many points as

you can as the semester goes along. If you miss an opportunity to earn points for any reason then,

those points are lost. Remember to participate in posted assignments during the time frame

allowed.

 

NOTICE: Some assignments required participation on more than one date. Being absent on either

date will cause you to NOT get points for the related assignment or activity. Attendance is

mandatory. This course operates much like a business with you as the employee who is expected to

show up for all work assignments
