Attendance is mandatory in all classes held during the conduct of a course. Absence from class(es) prevents a student from getting full benefit of a course. In many courses, absence also disadvantages many or all other students in the class. Accordingly, absence can result in lower grades due to missed assignments, quizzes, exercises and examinations.  

The minimum attendance required for a student to be allowed for the final examination in a course is 75% of the total credit hours allocated for a course.

The College acknowledges that individual circumstances may prevent a student from attending class or classes. It is the College’s policy to excuse the absence of students that result from the following causes: illness of the student, accident, death in family, participating in College activities at the request of College authorities, and compelling circumstances beyond the student’s control. However, the minimum attendance required for a student to be allowed for the final examination cannot fall below 50% of the total hours allocated to a course with excused absence.  

The student is responsible for all materials covered and announcements made during his / her absence. Students claiming excused absence must apply in writing and furnish documentary support of their assertion that absence resulted from one of the above causes.
