The second course in a semester is considered an Optional course. The attendance policy applies to students taking courses for fulfillment of the college requirement and for those students taking a course as an elective. These include absences for illness and any other reason. Religious holidays and first-week absences may be made up . Two latenesses equal one absence.
Attendance is taken at the scheduled starting time.
A student is considered late up to 5 minutes after the scheduled starting time. No student will be admitted 5 minutes after the scheduled starting time. For an extended illness or injury or other health problem, the student must contact her instructor immediately for recommendations. Students have the option to make up a class missed for a religious holiday or take it as one of the 4 allowable absences. The student must tell her instructor before the holiday is taken.
