14. Attendance Requirements:
-
Students should make every effort to attend all class meetings. All absences must be
explained to the satisfaction of the instructor who will decide whether the omitted
work may be made up. Any student who misses twenty-five (25%) percent or more of
the regularly scheduled class meetings will receive a grade of F for that course.
o Tardies: Roll will be taken at the beginning of class. If you walk in late and
attendance has already been taken, you must make a point to see the professor
after class so that you are marked off as being at class, however, you will be
counted as tardy. Failure to see the instructor after class if you missed roll call
-
will result in being marked as absent that day. NOTE: *2 tardies = 1
absence!*
Work due when a student is scheduled to be absent for any reason should be turned-in
before the class meets. LATE WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR PLANNED
ABSENCES, INCLUDING ATHLETIC EVENTS. If you are ill or have an
unplanned absence, all work must be turned-in BEFORE the next class meeting.
