Attendance Policies

All students are expected to attend every scheduled class.
Students are expected to attend classes on time.
Attendance is documented for each scheduled class meeting beginning with the first scheduled class. (sign in sheet will be provided).
When you have arrived for class, please make sure that you sign the attendance sheet and document your time of arrival.
If you are going to be late, you must communicate with your instructor as to how late and why. This also applies to leaving class early. Inform your instructor, and document your departure time. (sign in/out sheet)
If you are over 30 minutes late, you will be counted as absent with the exception of pre-approval from your instructor.
Students are allowed two (2) legitimate absences per quarter. There will be an evaluation process after the second absence. Upon review by the BOD student could be dropped from the quarter.
In the event of an emergency, the student must notify the instructor as soon as possible.
After four absences, the instructor may drop the student if the student does not make every effort to contact him/her.
If there are extenuating circumstances, the instructor has the authority to make an exception to the attendance policy.
An emergency can be defined as a sickness, family emergency, or family crisis.
Situations beyond the limit of the policies or the privilege of the instructor can be appealed. You will have to be evaluated for an appeal and schedule a meeting with the President and BOD.

Note: Any official class closing will not be counted as an absence. This may include inclement weather, holidays, etc.

However, to maintain your grade, the assignments must be completed per course schedule.

Acceptance of an emergency will be determined by your instructor.
