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.
