POL 4.035 Student Attendance Policy

Attending class is essential for student success.  Students are expected to attend all in-person scheduled classes.  Online attendance is defined as regular and substantive participation in class.  Some courses and programs may have additional attendance requirements due to the nature of the program.

Students who fail to attend and participate will be reported as a “No Show” and may be administratively dropped from enrollment.  Failure to attend and participate may affect financial aid eligibility.

If a student needs to miss a class, arrangements should be made with the instructor prior to the absence, if possible.  Extenuating circumstances that require an exemption to this policy must be documented.
