Attendance Policy Completing a course in an accelerated format requires that students take a great deal of responsibility for their own learning outcomes. For face-to-face classes, students are expected to attend each and every class and arrive punctually. For hybrid and online courses, students are expected to attend class meetings as scheduled and participate regularly in the online environment throughout the course. In the case of a family, personal or medical emergency, the student is required to notify the faculty member as soon as aware of the situation. He/she will help to make arrange ments to complete the work, if at all possible. Students who miss two or more class meetings of a face-to-face seven-week course will not be able to complete the course or receive a passing grade. Students should drop the course immediately after missing the second class. If the second class missed occurs after the fifth week of a session, students will receive an F for the course. Students who miss due dates for two or more assignments in an online or hybrid* course will not be able to complete the course or receive a passing grade. Students should drop the course immediately after missing the second assignment. If the second assignment missed occurs after the fifth week of a session, students will receive an F for the course. *Please note that missing the due date for one assignment and missing a class meeting in a hybrid course would constitute two assignments. In all of these cases, the student is liable for the full tuition.
