SYLLABUS: ATTENDANCE



  • This class meets once a week, on Wednesday, from 8:00 to 10:55 AM, and includes a 15-minute break from 9:30 to 9:45 AM.
  • Be in class on time.  Class begins promptly at 8:00 AM.
    • Students who arrive late will be counted as tardy.  Each tardy will count as a half absence (1.5 hours).
  • There is a 15-minute break, from 9:30 to 9:45 AM.
    • Students who arrive late from break will be counted as tardy.  Each tardy will count as a half absence (1.5 hours).
  • Class ends at 10:55 AM.
    • Students who leave class early, before it ends at 10:55 AM, will be assessed a half absence (1.5 hours)
  • Students are allowed the equivalent of two weeks’ worth of absences, i.e., two classes, for a total of six (6) hours.  This policy assumes medical necessity as the cause of any absence. 
  • If any student misses more than six (6) hours of class, he/she will be asked to withdraw or take a serious grade penalty for the course (a reduction of 75 points for each 1.5 hours missed).  Only prolonged infirmity or an approved university-required function would be reason for altering this policy. 
  • Excessive absences/tardies will affect a student’s grade.
