Attendance PolicyAttendanceStudents are responsible for their attendance in courses for which they are enrolled. See specific course syllabus for each course attendance requirements. See a specific course syllabus for attendance requirements. IMPORTANT Students should be aware that mandatory attendance the first week of classes is required for some classes. Also, students who do not attend class during the first four weeks of class (or the equivalent for non-standard length courses) may be dropped at the discretion of the instructor. However, non-attendance does not guarantee that you will be dropped from your classes. A failing grade may result based on non-attendance. It is the student's responsibility to process a drop or withdrawal in the Admissions and Records Office for classes they do not want. Absences Absence due to serious illness may be excused. However, students who miss classes lose some of the content of the course. Being excused does not excuse students from the work covered during absences. Students are not automatically excused from other classes to attend field trips or intercollegiate functions. When schedule conflicts occur because of field trips, students should notify instructors of classes to be missed and, in cooperation with that instructor, make arrangements for completing the work missed. In case of an unsolvable conflict, students will not be penalized for missing the class or the field trip, whichever the case may be. Students whose absences are due to participation in intercollegiate functions and other co-curricular trips arranged by the college will be excused from class attendance but not from the responsibility for the work that they may miss during their absence for approved functions. A veteran's failure to attend classes may result in reduction or termination of benefits. |
