Class Attendance

While individual instructors’ policies may vary, punctual and regular attendance is expected. When absence from a class becomes necessary, the student is responsible for informing the instructor prior to the absence whenever possible. The student is also responsible for completion of all work missed during an absence. Instruction missed may affect the student’s grade, regardless of the reason for the absence.

Frequent absences may result in the termination of veterans’ educational benefits and other programs of financial assistance.

Failure to attend within the first 15% (last day to drop with a refund) of class sessions will result in administrative drop from the course.
