Course Attendance: |
Students are expected to attend all class sess=
ions
and are responsible for class work, homework, lecture notes, reading
assignments, etc. Record keeping for attendance purposes begins the first=
day
the class meets. Students may not miss more than four (4) days =
of
class. It is the student’s responsibility to keep track of the numb=
er
of classes missed. If the number of classes missed exceeds the four allow=
ed
absences, the student will be dropped from the class and will receive a
“W” or “WF” as the final grade based upon the gra=
de
status as of the last class attendance.&=
nbsp;
Please
note that there are no excused absences. =
The four
allowed absences are to cover all the circumstances that may arise such as
illness, personal issues, or transportation problems that prevent students
from attending class. Students are responsible for completing assignments
missed as a result of being absent. Late arrivals and early dismissals disrupt cla=
ss and
interfere with student learning. To eliminate disruptions, students should
not be late for class or leave before class has been dismissed. Students
arriving after attendance has been taken are marked absent, and they are
responsible for making sure that the attendance roster gets changed to
reflect the late arrival. Three tardies will count as to one absence. |
|||
|
Withdrawal=
: Should
the maximum allowable absences be exceeded prior to midterm, a "W&qu=
ot;
will be submitted to the registrar to be recorded on the student's
transcript. Should the maximum allowable absences be exceeded after
midterm, a "W" will be submitted to the registrar if the student
was passing the course at the time of withdrawal OR a "WF" will=
be
submitted if the student was failing the course at the time of withdrawal=

tests. ***=
Make-up
tests: All make-up tests must be completed within 1 class session of the
scheduled date to avoid a point reduction penalty. Make-up tests are discouraged by=
