ATTENDANCE Regular class attendance and consistent study habits are essential to success in college and are required of all students at Cuyahoga Community College. A student may be dropped from a course by his instructor whenever total absences exceed three hours in any quarter-if, in the instructor's judgment, the student cannot benefit from further class instruction. When illness forces a student to be absent from class for three or more consecutive days, he should report this fact to the Health Service at his campus. If an absence is of less than three days duration, or is caused by an emergency not related to illness, the student is asked to confer with his instructor upon returning to class.
ATTENDING COLLEGE WHILE EMPLOYED Many students find it necessary to work while attending college. By careful and realistic planning, work and study can be successfully combined. Each credit hour generally requires a minimum of two hours of outside study each week. On this basis, students employed full time should attempt to carry no more than two courses per quarter. Those employed part time should carry a course load proportionate to their hours of employment.
FINAL EXAMINATIONS A final examination is required in each course and is given at a regularly scheduled time. Except under ,emergency circumstances, students may not be excused from these examinations. If a student is unable to appear, it is his responsibility to inform his instructor prior to the scheduled examination. If an examination is officially postponed, the student will be assigned an "I" (incomplete) as his grade for that course. Incomplete grades are to be removed by completing the examination no later than the fifth week of the following academic quarter. Failure to do so will result in an "F" (failure) grade.
