XII. ATTENDANCE A. Students are expected to attend all classes for which they are registered. The student must be present 80% of the scheduled class dates in order to demonstrate the expected course outcomes and successfully apply theoretical concepts to the clinical practicum. Students who are unable to attend class regularly, regardless of the reason or circumstance, should withdraw from that class before poor attendance interferes with the student’s ability to achieve the objectives required in the course. Withdrawal from class can affect eligibility for federal financial aid. Withdrawal from class can prohibit progression in nursing and allied health programs. B. Students are expected to attend all clinical rotations required for each course. Only excused absences (a maximum of one) will be considered for make up. However, due to limited clinical space and time, clinical make up days cannot be guaranteed. Failure to complete clinical rotations will prohibit progression in nursing and allied health programs.
