Attendance is mandated by the state. A student may be administratively dropped from class upon accumulating more than 3 absences; so, don’t miss. An absence is considered excused if it meets one of the College’s sanctioned reasons (personal illness, death of an immediate family member, or a College sponsored event). If a conflict arises, simply contact me by email (GraciaIris_Holly@sac.edu) prior to the start of class. In the event of an absence, it is your responsibility to obtain notes from classmates and complete missed assignments. Noteworthy:
