Rules Regarding Student Absence and Lateness – College Policy:

The college expects that each student will exercise personal responsibility with regard to class attendance.

All students are expected to attend every class session of each course for which they are registered.

Students are responsible for all that transpires in class whether or not they are in attendance. The college

defines excessive absence or lateness as more than the equivalent of one week of class meetings during

the semester. Excessive absence or lateness may lead to failure in a course or removal from the class

roster.

A student may be removed from the class roster by an instructor at any time when, in the judgment of the

instructor, absences have been excessive or when other valid reasons exist.

1. No more than one absence is permitted. Additional absences will decrease the student’s final grade.

2. All classes are to begin on time. Chronic tardiness will adversely affect the student’s grade. Two latenesses will be counted as one absence.
