Attendance Policy

Students who are expected to attend and be on time for all curricular activities, clinicals, laboratory courses and orientations. See syllabi for specific course requirements. Absences will be reviewed on an individual basis. Students are responsible for all course materials. Attendance records are maintained for the purpose of work references and financial aid programs. Attendance at all College orientation/informational activities is mandatory. Those who are not able to attend must contact the appropriate program personnel prior to the activity and may be placed on a Student Performance Notification (SPN).

A student who is absent from laboratory or clinical experiences may not be able to meet the expected course outcomes. Absences from clinical and lab will be dealt with individually by the faculty in consultation with the appropriate Program Director and may include a fee. Repeated absences may result in dismissal from the course.
