AttendanceAttendance and Lateness
In education and the workplace, regular attendance is necessary if individuals are to excel. Thereis a direct correlation between attendance and academic success. Attendance is mandatory. Allstudents must arrive on time and prepared to learn at each class session. At the faculty member’sdiscretion, students may be marked absent if they arrive more than 15 minutes late to any class.More that five absences in a class that meets twice per week or more that two absences in a classthat meets once per week may result in a failure.
Make-Up WorkLate Projects and Homework
