Mt. San Jacinto College Attendance Requirements Attendance Requirements Students are expected to attend all classes in which they are enrolled.
Experience demonstrates that absence and tardiness contribute to academic failure.
Absence due to illness or absence due to participation in a college-sponsored activity certainly introduces the element of extenuating circumstance and presumably will be factors in the instructor's judgement. Make-up work for absence of any kind must be completed to the satisfaction of the instructor. All instructors recognize the unavoidable nature of illness, and it is institutional policy to support and encourage student involvement in significant activities and experiences outside the classroom. Even so, no absence, whatever the reason, relieves the student of responsibility for completing all work assigned. Each instructor will, in the individual course requirements, establish the grading criteria, specify the written course of objectives and the standards for attendance in each class.
