Attendance:
Arts and Humanities Division Non-Attendance Policy Effective Spring 2015
By the official 14th class day (7th class day for summer session), all instructors are required to drop any student who has never attended the class or participated in an online course. If a student who has never attended class or participated in an online course by the official 14th class day
(7th class day for summer session) is not dropped for non-attendance, the student must be reported as attending and federal financial aid may be disbursed to the non-attending student.
The disbursement of federal financial aid funds creates an institutional responsibility to collect the unauthorized funds from the student, which in turn may result in the College’s inability to collect the funds and to incur financial losses and related federal fines.
It is the policy of the College and Arts and Humanities Division that instructors will not drop any student for non-attendance after the official 14 th
day (7th class day for summer session). It will be the student’s responsibility to withdraw from the class or online course that the student cannot attend regularly and meet the responsibilities indicated in the class syllabus. The student who does not complete the withdrawal process will receive a failing grade in the course.
