Attendance

Attendance and Time Policies

Punctual and regular attendance is a requirement in all classroom, laboratory and shop sessions.  Excused absences are: sickness or injury, with a doctor's statement or at the discretion of the Accountable Manager.  All other absences are unexcused.

When a student's lack of attendance results in failure to satisfactorily complete course objectives, the student will be warned in writing that he/she may fail the course unless arrangements are made with the instructor.  Time will be made up at the discretion of the instructor based upon their instructional work load.  Make up time and material must occur before the Final grade is issued.  For example, a student may score 100% on all quizzes, exams (which includes the Final Exam), and projects; however, an "I" (incomplete) shall be awarded as a grade until all time is made up.  Each 6 minutes equals 0.1 hours.

Final tests will not be taken until all time (including the time missed during the final test) for the course is made up.

1.  EXCUSED ABSENCES during a regular exam or quiz will be made up without penalty.  Make-up exam or quiz will be taken at the CONVENIENCE of the instructor.

2.  UNEXCUSED ABSENCES during a regular exam or final exam will result in a maximum possible test grade of 70 percent, when the test is taken. 

Tardiness

Time missed by any student arriving in class after the scheduled start time shall be made up before he/she is awarded a Final Grade.  All time shall be made-up.  For example, if a student is one to six minutes late, 0.1 hours shall be deducted from the student's attendance record.  If seven minutes late, the student shall be docked 0.2 hours and so on.

Repeated Tardiness

            A student's tardiness, (3 or more), may result in:

     1.  A written warning against further tardiness from the instructor.

     2.  Being placed on probation for the course.

     3.  Being issued a grade of "F" for the course.

The instructor may choose to begin class/lecture by securing the classroom door to prevent interruptions by late arriving students.  It is in the student's best interest to be in class early.

If a student arrives late and is "locked out", he/she may rejoin the class at the next scheduled break time.  Attendance begins when the student rejoins the class.
