Statement for Mental Health and Advocacy & Resource Center:
As a student you may experience a range of issues that can cause barriers to learning, such as strained relationships, increased anxiety, alcohol/drug problems, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or lack of motivation.

Attendance
\ Attendance in class and lab is regarded as a requirement and an obligation for learning. It is the student's responsibility to gain missed lecture notes through outside reading and/or notes from other students. A student is credited with attendance when present for the start of class and remains in class until dismissed by the instructor. The attendance policy may be relaxed during periods of adverse weather as stated in the Amarillo College policy for adverse weather conditions. Listen for communications through local media outlets.
\\ Please remember the deadline for dropping a class is published in the official Amarillo College Schedule of classes. If you stop attending a class and do not officially drop the class by the published deadline, you will receive an 'F' for the course.
