Program Policies

Attendance Policy
Satisfactory attendance is a course requirement. Satisfactory and unsatisfactory attendance are defined as follows:

• Students must be present in the classroom throughout the entire class period. Students are expected to participate regularly and constructively in class, including discussions, group work, and other assignments. Excessive tardiness or leaving the classroom early will be considered unsatisfactory attendance. Lack of participation will be considered unsatisfactory attendance.
• Students must come to class prepared with their completed assignments. In class, students are expected to be alert, attentive, and focused on the subject at hand. If a student's preparation is unsatisfactory, his/her attendance will be considered unsatisfactory.

Drop Policy
In a MW or TR class, a student is allowed three absences. When a student has compiled a total of four instances of unsatisfactory attendance, he/she may be dropped from or fail the course at the instructor’s discretion, even if the cause of the absences is beyond the student’s control (such as illness).
