in the resulting schedule. Advisors are

NOTE: Students
who stop attending a class but who do not complete a Withdrawal Form and submit
it to the Office for Student Affairs in the required manner will be withdrawn
by the instructor after 10% of instructional time is missed.
ATTENDANCE
It is essential that educational programs meet
requirements and standards necessary for successful employment in business and
industry. In view of the intensive
nature of educational programs, it is necessary for every student to be present
and on time every day for all classes as is required in the work
environment. The only excused absences
will be documented absences due to jury duty, military duty, or required job
training.
Attendance is counted from the first scheduled class
meeting of each quarter. Three (3) tardies or early departures equal one (1) absence for the
course(s) involved. In order for a
student to receive credit for a course, a student must attend 90% of the
scheduled instructional time. Any student
who has maintained a passing grade within a course will receive a “WP” for the
course when attending less than 90% of the scheduled instructional time. If, however, the student has not maintained a
passing grade, the student will receive a “WF” for the course.
Attendance is also reflected in a work ethics grade
which is recorded on a student’s transcript.
Employers seeking references on students for employment purposes
frequently request attendance information.
Although the student pays tuition, the majority of the
cost of providing education is paid for by the public; therefore, each seat in
a classroom should be utilized to its full potential. It is a student’s responsibility to properly
drop or withdraw from a class if good attendance does not reflect this attendance
policy.
A student’s attendance does not comply with this
policy when either of the following occurs:
1.
A student registers for a class, but never attends a
single day of class, commonly known as a “no show”. In this instance, the instructor shall report
the student as a “no show” and strike the student form the roll.
2.
A student registers for a class, attends at least one
class session, but attends irregularly, or ceases attending. At the point the student has attended less
than 90% of the scheduled instructional time, the instructor will withdraw the
student in accordance with this policy.
AUDITING A COURSE
A student who wishes to audit a course(s) and receive
no credit may apply as a special student if not already enrolled as a regular
student. Exceptions to this policy
are: clinical courses, certain
laboratory courses, and supervised work experience. Students auditing courses are not required to
take exams; however, the instructor may request that students demonstrate
required knowledge before being allowed to perform certain tasks to operate
equipment. A student is not permitted to
change from audit to credit or from credit to audit after the Drop/Add period. However, a student will be permitted to register
for the course at a later date and receive credit. Students desiring to change from audit to
credit must meet all necessary requirements.
A grade of “AU” will be entered on the permanent record. Courses taken on an audit basis will not be
used for certification for financial aid, the President’s List, Social Security,
or Veteran’s Administration education benefits.
To audit a class, students should contact the Registrar.
