Regular and punctual attendance is required for all classes and laboratories. Absences are counted from the first official day of classes. Excessive absences may result in a failure due to absences grade (FA).
Authorized leaves of absence from campus do not excuse the student from required class work. The student must decide with the teacher for every anticipated school trip and other authorized leaves at least 72 hours before the beginning of such anticipated schedules. All makeup work involving examinations and other class requirements must be made up within seven days after the absence occurs.
It is the responsibility of students to keep a record of their absences, to keep themselves informed of the requirements of the instructor, to take all examinations at the time prescribed by the instructor, and to turn in all assignments when they are due.
Furthermore, regular class attendance is required for students receiving Federal Student Aid. Students must begin attendance in all courses to qualify for financial aid. Students reported for non- attendance in any or all courses could be required to repay a portion or all aid received for that semester.
At the end of each semester, students who have failed to earn credit for any courses are reviewed and aid must be recalculated based on their last date of attendance. After recalculation, students who failed to earn any credit may be required to repay a portion of aid received for that semester.
