Attendance policy
Students are expected to attend all scheduled University classes for the courses that they are registered for and to achieve the goals set forth by each class instructor. Attendance is taken daily. Enrolled students are permitted no more than 2 “free” absences in one semester. Students missing 3-5 classes over the course of the semester will receive a one-letter grade deduction from their final course grade; missing more than 6 classes will result in failure of the course regardless of grade average. It is the student's responsibility to arrange to make up work missed because of an absence.
Student tardiness policy
A student is considered tardy if the student comes to class 5 minutes late. A student can be tardy up to 15 minutes after class has started. After 15 minutes the student will be considered absent. A student is considered to have left the class early if the student leaves before the end of class time. With three tardies or having left the class early three times, the student accumulates one full absence. If the student leaves early and misses half of the class period, it is considered a full absence. When a student has more than 6 tardies or has left class early 6 times, the instructor will contact the Executive Director to request an intervention session with the student. The goal of the intervention session is to develop and implement an intervention program to help students learn new ways to manage time.
