Attendance Regulation

Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory academic progress. Attendance in class and laboratory sessions is an obligation assumed by every student at the time of registration. Under no circumstances will a student be allowed to attend a class if he/she is not officially enrolled. Any student who fails to attend a class during the first three sessions may be dropped unless the student has advised and obtained an absence approval from the instructor. An instructor may drop a student from class when absences become excessive. Excessive absenteeism is defined as one more absence than the class meets per week. See the Student Handbook for procedures concerning attendance irregularities. (BP/AP 5075, 12/2012, 2/13, 12/13/12, and 4/27/17)
