POLICIES & PROCEDURES FOR EMPLOYEES
 
Southwestern Community College - Policies and Procedures Manual
Policy Title: Attendance Requirements 6.11
Responsible Division: Instruction and Student Services  
Date Approved: October 2009  
 
1. Students are expected to attend and be on time for all scheduled classes and labs. Students should refer to the course syllabus for individual course attendance requirements. At the discretion of instructors, students may make up work missed. When students must be absent, it is vital that they remain in contact with their instructors.
2. Any student who has not attended at least one face-to-face class meeting or completed one assignment/activity for an online class by the 10 percent date of the class will be reported by the instructor as “never attended.” A student who has never attended a class by the 10 percent date is no longer enrolled in the class and will not earn credit or receive a tuition refund for the course.

Under extenuating circumstances, a student who has never attended may follow the late registration procedure to petition for reinstatement in the class and earn course credit. The student should notify the instructor of the extenuating circumstances prior to the 10 percent date of the class and provide compelling documentation to support the request for reinstatement. Reinstatement will only be considered when the absence was due to unforeseeable and uncontrollable circumstances.

Students reported as never attended may request to have their status changed to “audit.”
