Attendance
Attending class, especially the first day of classes is critical to student success.
Be certain to attend each class the first day it is scheduled. Go to the room listed
on the invoice at the time and on the day the class is scheduled. Instructors begin
taking attendance on the first day. This helps you to learn students names and to
be certain that all students receive the information necessary to succeed in that
class. you should learn the instructor s name, office number and office hours.
Attendance Policy
You are expected to attend all classes regularly and on time. Excessive absences*
result in poor classroom performance, low grades and possible failure. The attendance
policies of individual instructors will be made clear on the first day of class and
will appear in the course outline. (Some instructors may calculate attendance and
absenteeism into students final grade.)
*Instructors will check attendance for the first three weeks of the term (or 20 percent
of shorter terms). If students do not attend during that time, they will be dropped
from the class, financial aid will be adjusted and tuition and fees will be forfeited.
Instructors will also report on attendance at the 60 percent date of the term for
financial aid compliance. For more details, see Appendix A in the Appendices, in this
catalog.
Attendance During Pregnancy
In accordance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, absences due to pregnancy or related conditions, including recovery from childbirth, shall be excused for as long as the absences are determined to be medically necessary. Students will be provided with the opportunity to make up any work missed as a result of such absences, if possible. The college may also offer the student alternatives to making up missed work, such as but not limited to, retaking a semester, taking part in online instruction, or allowing the student additional time in a program to continue at the same pace and finish at a later date. For more information or requests for accommodations, students should inform their instructor(s) and/or contact the Civil Rights Compliance Officer/Title IX Coordinator, at 412.237.4535 or smisra@ccac.edu.Religious Absences Accommodation
