______POLICIES AND PROCEDURES______
ATTENDANCE POLICY______
This policy is enforced to ensure that all students receive needed instruction, develop habits of "Responsibility, Accountability and Punctuality" (RAP: Teacher Professionalism). All programs have an attendance requirement to establish your habit of professionalism. (Core classes such as Science, S.S., Math , & English do not have this requirement.) For Online students it is done through weekly assignments.
The doors in the classrooms will remain locked for security reasons and policy; there is a security slide on the door, which may be used. Please make sure you come to class "on time" or you may be locked out. It does disrupt class instruction, when you are late and I have to open the door. Thank you for your respect for others.

DROP POLICY: The student is responsible to drop the course. A student may drop a course or all courses prior to the end of late registration (first Friday of the semester) without a “W” being recorded on the student’s official transcript. A student initiated drop after the late registration period is considered a withdrawal, and results in the grade of “W”. (Students may drop courses online until the end of the late registration period. In order to withdraw from one or more courses following late registration, a completed registration form is required. Instructions on the form indicate when a signature of instructor and/or Financial Aid advisor is required. The completed form may be submitted to Admissions & Records or any off-campus center.) NOTE: Students may withdraw from courses until 75% of the course meetings have elapsed. Students must withdraw themselves if they decide not to complete the class. Students who stop attending yet do not drop/withdraw from the class will get a failing grade (or whatever grade they earned). After 75% of the term has elapsed (12th week of the semester for fall and spring full-semester classes) students cannot initiate a drop/withdrawal. Students will be issued a grade after this deadline.
