College
Attendance Policy
Students
are expected to attend each meeting of their registered courses. The College
recognizes, however, that there are times when students may miss a class,
and instituted a policy that takes this into consideration. There are no excused
absences under this policy. All absences can be counted, regardless of
the reason for the absence.
An instructor may withdraw
a student from a course if absences exceed 20% of the class meetings.
Since
this class has only eight meetings, this means you may be withdrawn if you
miss two classes.

Cell phone usage
and text messaging during class is absolutely prohibited, as is personal use
of laptops or other electronic devices. Before class begins, you must turn
your cell phones off. If you must have your cell phone available due to a
crisis situation, you must notify the instructor before the start of class.
At the discretion of the instructor, you may be permitted to leave your phone
on “vibrate” mode. Use of text messaging during class will result
in dismissal from class that day, and will be considered an unauthorized absence.
