What is the attendance policy for students?

MINIMUM STANDARD

A student must attend 85% of the scheduled class hours on a cumulative basis during each evaluation period. A student who is absent for more than 15% of the total course time will be dismissed.

TRACKING, TARDINESS, AND EARLY DEPARTURES

Attendance is tracked in every class period by the instructor. If you miss more than 15 minutes of any class period or leave before the instructor dismisses class you will be marked absent for the whole hour.
Any student arriving up to fifteen minutes after class has begun shall be marked Late. Three late marks are equivalent to one absence.
