Because regular, punctual classroom attendance is considered important for quality performance and success, students are expected to punctually attend all meetings of classes in which they are enrolled.
Instructors also have the prerogative of lowering grades for unexcused absences.
In case of prolonged absence because of illness, accident, or hospitalization, students must notify the College Health Services so that proper notification can be made to instructors. Student absences for the purpose of attending regular national guard or military reserve unit activities will be considered excused absences. Course Examinations Examinations are considered a part of the total requirements for each college course. The number of examinations given during a semester is determined by the instructor and may be given with or without prior announcement. Final Examinations Rescheduling of final exams is not permitted except with permission of the Vice President for Academic Services and with the consent of the instructor.
