Attendance • Technical Studies Attendance Policy: • A student who enrolls in classes in the Technical Studies Division is expected to attend all class meetings. • It is recognized, however, there may be situations that make it impossible to attend a class at the stated time. Therefore, absences and/or tardies may be excused by the instructor for the following reasons: • Illness • Illness or death in immediate family • Military duty • Unusual work conflicts such as last minute overtime requirements or business emergencies – not just routine work hours. • Legal obligations (court appearances, etc.) • Each unexcused absence will result in one point being deducted from your final average. • Each unexcused tardy will result in one-half point being deducted from the final average. • Faculty can develop alternative policies that fit their course design.
