Class Attendance
(College Rule 6Hx23-4.30)
It will be the responsibility of each instructor to insure that all students are informed of his/her class attendance and excessive absence policy in writing via the course syllabus. The instructor determines when the absences of a particular student have become "excessive." It is also the responsibility of the instructor to take regular attendance for students enrolled in his/her class(es) and promptly report in writing to the center or campus admissions/registration/business office any student in violation of that policy.
Regular class attendance is expected of all students. When absent for less than a week because of illness or other emergencies a student should notify, or have someone notify, the appropriate instructors. In the case of extended absences of a week or more, the student should notify, or have someone notify, the office of the associate provost.
The effect of absences upon grades is determined by the instructor. It is important that the student become aware of each instructor's attendance and excessive absence policy. If any student violates the instructor's attendance and excessive absence policy. If any student violates the instructor's attendance and excessive absence policy, the instructor will withdraw the student and assign a grade pursuant to BOT Rule 6Hx23-4.31. Any student withdrawn for excessive absences will receive notification of such action.
For an instructor who fails to provide a syllabus or who fails to include in his/her syllabus an attendance and excessive absence policy, the instructor and student shall be bound by the following:
Absences exceeding 20% of the scheduled class hours shall be considered excessive.
The instructor shall withdraw the student and assign a grade pursuant to BOT Rule 6Hx23-4.31.
Any student withdrawn for excessive absences will receive notification of such action.
