Attendance

Students are expected to attend each scheduled class. Absences and tardies will become a part of the student’s record through the work ethics grade as outlined in the Work Ethics section of the Catalog. It is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements with the instructor to discuss circumstances preventing attending class prior to the absence, if possible. If a student must be absent, it is his/her responsibility to notify the instructor and discuss make-up work, if permissible. Any make-up work will be at the discretion of the instructor.

Students receiving financial aid should be aware that absences could jeopardize their financial aid funding and satisfactory academic progress. Students may not receive financial aid funds if they do not meet the attendance requirements of the financial aid agency. Students who stop attending class, but do not formally withdraw, may receive a grade of F and face financial aid repercussions in upcoming semesters.

Attendance is required to be taken during the census period and reported to the Registrar's Office through Banner Web as FA (attended) or NS (no show) by each instructor. Failure to do so will result in being dropped from the course.
