Attendance and Absences |
|
|
I. Attendance: You are expected to attend all class sessions. College policy states that a student may be dropped for nonattendance. Students are responsiblefor officially withdrawing from classes they do not plan to complete. Under extenuating circumstances, a student may be reinstated by contacting the instructor. Extenuating circumstances include verified cases of accident, illness, and death in the family and other conditions that are beyond the student’s control. |
II. Absences: You are not permitted to miss more than 1 class because this is a 4 week session. Because of enrollment demand, students will be dropped when they do not appear for the first class meeting. A student will not receive credit and will be dropped for missing more than one class. It is your responsibility to check the class schedule for important dates regarding holidays and drop dates. If you attend the first class and then miss the next two, you will receive likely receive a failing grade as the deadline to drop will have passed. If you must be absent from class, it is your responsibility to get class notes, handouts, and directions. It is also your responsibility to drop the class by the posted deadline.
