Class Attendance
The College is committed to the principle that class
attendance is a vital part of its academic program. Attendance
makes possible that dialogue between student and teacher
which is the foundation of the educational process.Thus,
absence from class denies students access to the full measure
of a college education.
Regular class attendance is expected in all courses. Individual
instructors who have specific attendance requirements will
state these on the syllabus distributed at the beginning of each
course. Every student is accountable for all work missed
because of class absence. Instructors, however, are under no
obligation to make special arrangements for students who are
absent. The Office of the Registrar will forward any
information or request made by students to the instructors.
This, however, does not constitute an excuse for absence from
any class meeting.
Unless prior consent for absence from the first meeting of a
class is granted by the course instructor, the instructor may
request that the Office of the Registrar drop an absent
student from the class roster. However, it is the responsibility
of the student, not the instructor or the advisor, to make sure
he/she is enrolled in the correct schedule each term.
