Attendance
Students are expected to have regular and punctual attendance in class and other college activities. The College is interested in the educational development of its students, and attendance in class is considered a necessary part of the process. When absent, a student misses material covered in class that may not be covered in the reading assignments. Students are held responsible for all information and assignments missed due to their absence. Each instructor informs the class of his/her attendance policy in a written format at the beginning of the semester. The College Nurse should be notified of a death in the immediate family or a serious illness that requires students to be absent from class for an extended period of time. If a student is gone due to illness, a doctor's release may be requested before reinstatement in classes(es) is permitted.
Class begins promptly at the scheduled time. Students who arrive late interrupt class and may be considered absent. In the event the instructor is delayed for the start of class, students are expected to wait 20 minutes before leaving the room.
