Early departures, class cut, tardies, etc., for any portion of an hour will be regarded as one full hour absence. Three tardies will be counted as one absence. Instructors shall submit VA students' daily attendance records to the attendance office. The VA Programs Coordinator shall collect, keep record of, and file the veteran students' attendance for each month. There are no excused or unexcused absences.
Students are either in attendance or they are absent.
Any student with a total of five absences during a nine-week term may be withdrawn for poor attendance. A student withdrawn for poor attendance may reapply for admission for the next term. Any student withdrawn two terms for poor attendance may reapply for admission after two terms. When a student has failed to maintain prescribed standards of progress, VA will be informed promptly so that benefit payments can be discontinued in accordance with the law. The veteran student may petition the school to be re-certified for benefits after one grading period.
