Attendance
Attending theory is a State requirement. An attendance rate of at least 85% including excused absences is required at all times for each student. If a student does not maintain 85% attendance, corrective action will be taken. A student who misses an assignment or exam due to an absence will receive a grade of zero “0”. Make-up work is accepted only with the instructor’s approval. If a life circumstance causes you to be absent, it is mandatory that you contact an instructor.
