Attendance

Good Attendance is a must! Students are expected to be in class and on time every class day. The school must be notified of any intended absences. More than three unexcused absences in a month will be dealt with through an advisor’s inter view . If this occurs, the student can be placed on academic probation or become a candidate for dismissal. The student must make up all missed work.

Tardiness

Students arriving after attendance has been taken are considered to be late unless the instructor considers the tardiness as excusable. When a student’s attendance record is marked as a late arrival three times, it will be considered as an absence.
