Seated Courses
All students are expected to be in class, on time and for the entirety of the class, every night the class is in session. Once a student misses three (3) sessions of any one class he/she will be dropped from the course with a “W”. Only in the event of rare and unusual circumstances, with formal documentation, will a student be allowed to continue.
Online Courses
All students are expected to log in to their courses regularly throughout the week to receive instruction, materials, and updates from the instructor. It is your responsibility to check in and submit your assignments, complete your discussion board postings, and finish quizzes and exams by the due dates.
If you do not participate in the course, you will be counted absent. Simply logging in is not enough; you must submit/complete an assignment, post to a discussion board, or other similar assignment tasks to avoid being counted absent. Instructors are required to submit attendance the Monday following each week of class.
This attendance is reported to the Financial Aid Department and may result in the loss of any financial aid refund you are expecting if you have not been participating in your courses. In addition, you will be administratively dropped from the course if you are reported absent a total of three weeks.
