Test Attendance Policy Skills Lab Attendance …………………………………………………………………29

Students are expected to show respect to the instructor and peers or the student will be asked to leave the classroom and may not return until a conference with the instructor and director has taken place.

Students are expected to attend class on time and are considered tardy if not present for roll call. Students arriving after the start of class will be allowed in the classroom at the discretion of the instructor. Any person entering the classroom late must see the instructor immediately following class to discuss circumstances to discern if the tardy stands. The instructor may deny admission to class if tardy.

Tardiness to class three times WILL count as an absence and will apply toward grade deduction.

Unusual or unforeseen circumstances will be evaluated on an individual basis by faculty.

Attendance: Tests/Exams

Attendance is expected for all tests/exams and quizzes.

If a student is tardy or absent for a test/exam, course faculty must be notified prior to the test/exam unless there is an extreme emergency. A grade of a zero will be given for any missed test/exam. There will be no make-up test/exam. If it is an extenuating circumstance for the tardy or absence, the grade for the final comprehensive exam can replace the missed test/exam grade; however, this must be approved by the Program Director within 72 hours of the date of the test/exam. The grade replacement can only replace one missed text/exam.

Using this app, students will be able to download exams to take on exam day. Students are required to download the exam prior to coming to class on the day of the exam. Internet access is required.
