| Junior college students should be present in the classroom to facilitate the learning process and to develop proper learning habits. Therefore, regular and punctual attendance in classes and other required academic activities is mandatory for all students. If a student has excessive absences, appropriate learning cannot take place and the student may be removed from the class by the Academic Dean. Any consequences of removal from a class, such as effects on scholarships or financial aid, shall be the responsibility of the student. Absences shall be counted beginning with the first class following official enrollment of the student.
Instructors are encouraged to consider not only a punitive policy to reduce a student's grade for excessive absences or tardiness, but also a motivational policy whereby grades may be increased for limited absences. Such policies should be included in the course syllabus. Make-up work is at the discretion of the instructor; the student is responsible for requesting the work.
