Attendance requirements are determined by the course instructor. Students who do not meet the attendance requirement as determined by the course instructor may be withdrawn. Students who fail to attend the first scheduled class meeting, or to contact the instructor regarding absence before the first scheduled class meeting may, at the option of the instructor, be withdrawn. At the beginning of each course, each faculty member will provide students with written attendance requirements. It is the student s responsibility to consult with the instructor regarding official or unofficial absences.
Absences begin to accumulate with the first scheduled class meeting.
Students bear the responsibility of notifying the Office of Admissions and Records when they discontinue studies in a course or at the college. Please refer to the Withdrawal Procedures. Official absences are those which occur when students are involved in an official activity of the college, i.e., field trips, tournaments, athletic events, and present an official absence excuse form. Absences for such events shall not count against the number of absences allowed by an instructor or department. Prior arrangements must be made with each instructor for make-up work.
