Attendance Policy

Students are expected to be punctual and attend all classes for which they are registered. Students are preparing themselves for direct entry into the workforce and employers state that dependability and punctuality are the main qualities sought in potential employees.  Absences prevent students from receiving full course benefits, disrupt orderly course progress, and diminish the quality of group interaction in class.  Students must establish enrollment and course participation each semester before financial aid funds are disbursed. 

Course participation includes completing activities such as submitting assignments, taking exams/quizzes, interactive tutorials or computer-assisted instruction. Students enrolled in online courses are expected to participate in the online class by completing assignments, contributing to online discussions, and maintaining contact with their instructor. Logging into the online class does not establish student enrollment and participation in the course.
