ATTENDANCE and PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS
Absences seriously disrupt students’ progress in a class and diminish the quality of group interaction. Students are
expected to punctually attend all lecture and laboratory sessions in the courses for which they are registered. Late
arrivals and/or early departures may count toward total absences in classes."
“Students must be in attendance at least eighty (80%) percent of the clock hours of a course to receive credit
for the course. Those who do not meet minimum attendance requirements will be given the grade of F.”
(See
current CFCC Catalog and Student Handbook)
If a problem comes up, let me know, and if possible, we can work out some make up time or assignments. The point
is, "Let me know.
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS for Online Classes:
DL courses may be audited at any time; therefore, instructors MUST have documentation of first contact
by students. The First Day that classes BEGIN at CFCC is considered to be The FIRST DAY of classes
for ALL courses including DL courses (Internet, Telecourse, Teleweb, & Hybrid).The census date (10%) is
the same for ALL face-to-face courses as well as DL courses. The census date is the point at which the
state calculates FTE and thereby calculates funding to the College for enrollment. For the Summer 2015
Semester, the Census Date is [5/29/15]. You must complete the Discussion Board Enrollment
Verification by that date to remain enrolled in the course.
CLASSROOM and LAB RULES
