Absences and tardies: |
Students are expected to attend class and exhibit a positive attitude. Ten percent will be deducted for work, including a test, that is late if unexcused. For each set of three unexcused absences, a student will lose six points from the final grade. Excused absences are sickness approved by the nurse or other reasons approved by the instructor ahead of time. Unexcused time away from class (either arriving late or leaving class without permission) will be recorded. Each 55 minutes of accumulated unexcused time will count as one unexcused absence for the purpose of deducting six points from the final grade. Students cannot come in outside of class to make up an unexcused absence. |
