ATTENDANCE:

After being tardy three times (for more than 5min.), this will count as one unexcused absence. If you are tardy more than 30 minutes this will count as a half a day unexcused, and if one and a half hours late or more this counts as an unexcused absence. Days missed with a doctors excuse will be excused as well as other absences with approval by the instructor (instructor will decide the legitimacy of the situation whether it will be excused or not) arranged prior to the absence. AFTER HAVING THREE UNEXCUSED ABSENCES YOU WILL BE DROPPED FROM THE CLASS.
