ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS

 

DEFINITIONS:

ABSENCE -    Failure to be present for a scheduled meeting of the class or arriving for the class more than ten minutes after the scheduled time for the class to begin.

TARDY ---      Arrival to class after the instructor has called the roll and before ten minutes past the time scheduled for the class to begin.

 

I.                    Absences are counted from the first day of classes.

 

II.                 Five absences are allowed for a class that meets three times per week, and three absences are allowed for a class that meets two times per week.

 

III.               Three tardies are considered as one absence.  The student must meet with the instructor at the end of the class to which he has been late to have the absence changed to a tardy.

 

IV.              There are no "excused" absences; all absences are counted, regardless of the reason for the absence.

 

V.                 A student missing class time by leaving early will also be counted absent.

 

Please note the following: You are responsible for all material and announcements presented, whether you are present or absent.
