1. Absences: “Your Education Hangs in the Balance”: Since all classes meet only one time per week, you
need to attend every class. Missing a class will mean you miss an entire week’s worth of information. If you
must miss class, please contact the instructor at the email address above or leave a message at the above
number. Due to federal regulations, if you miss 21 consecutive days (including weekends and days on which
you have no class scheduled), you will be dropped from school. If you miss three consecutive class meetings of
a course (or 21 days of an online course), you will be dropped from that class. There are absolutely no
exceptions to these rules. Also, each instructor has the authority to determine if a student is absent or present.
If you must leave early or arrive late, please ensure you know how your instructor will mark your attendance.
2. Your Commitment: ADDING/DROPPING Classes. During Weeks 1-2, you are allowed to add a class. You
are allowed to drop a class in weeks 1 - 2 as long as you have not sat in that class. If you have had positive
attendance taken in a class, and then decide to drop, it will affect your completion percentage. Excessive
dropping of courses could lead to you being placed on Academic Probation. All requests to add or drop a
course must be conducted using the Drop/Add form. See your school chair for any questions or assistance.
Also, dropping or adding course may have financial considerations. Do your research and know what the cost is
before you make your decision.
3. All grades are EARNED by the end of your Week 9 Class. Any student who drops a class prior to Week 9
will earn a “W” for withdrawing. Any student who drops a class after attending Week 9 will get Grade Earned.
