Attendance
Regular attendance is expected of every student. Attendance at the first class meeting is strongly recommended because of high demand for classes. Any student not attending the first class meeting may be dropped by the instructor.
Each enrolled student is expected to attend every scheduled class session. Because of the length of each lecture period and lab times, attendance is crucial to a student’s success and achievement. Missing lab hours and/or lecture could result in the student being dropped from this class. After a student accumulates more than a week’s absences (more than the number of times the class meets per week), consecutive or nonconsecutive, an instructor may drop the student according to the drop deadline dates.
Please keep your instructor informed as to absences BEFORE class times if you can. If you cannot attend a class, please contact your instructor via e-mail.
While an instructor may drop a student who has poor attendance, it is the student’s responsibility to officially drop the class if attendance and completion is no longer possible.
Tips for Online Success
The successful online student is independent, self-motivated, willing to learn in isolation, willing to ask questions as soon as questions arise, good with written instructions, good at expressing himself in writing, aware of technology as a convenience and a barrier.
