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.
