ATTENDANCE POLICY
Regular and punctual attendance is mandatory for 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. Seven (7) or more unexcused absences could result in a failing grade. Ten (10) unexcused absences and student will be dropped for course with a failing grade. Class begins promptly at the scheduled time students are expected to be in the classroom or lab 5 minutes before class begins ready for class. Any student late will receive 1/2-day unexcused absence. Any student more than 15 minutes late will not be permitted to attend class that day and will receive an unexcused absence. High School sporting activities, FFA, Quire, Band, or in school detention are NOT excused absences. 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)
CELL - PHONE POLICY
Cell phone is not permitted in class room or lab. Cell phone activity during class is deemed disruptive to the academic process and will not be tolerated. If you need to make emergency call, Please leave the classroom. Portable music players are also not allowed, as they are unsafe due to hanging wires and issues of distraction. Ear buds are not proper hearing protection.
