Attendance
Policy
All
students
are
expected
to
attend
every
scheduled
meeting
of
each
course
in
which
they
are
registered.
It
is
understandable
there
are
times
you
may
not
be
able
to
attend
a
session,
or
part
thereof.
In
such
cases,
you
are
responsible
for
checking
with
the
instructor,
Moodle,
classmates,
etc.
to
be
up
to
date
on
any
work
missed.
You
must
also
inform
the
instructor
of
any
missed
scheduled
tests
or
presentations
before
class
start
time
in
order
to
request
a
make-‐up.
Attendance
will
be
kept
by
the
instructor
for
administrative
and
counseling
purposes.
Assignments
that
are
due
by
electronic
submission
are
still
due
at
the
beginning
of
the
scheduled
class
even
if
you
are
not
present
in
class.
A
5%
per
business
day
reduction
will
occur
for
late
work
submission,
unless
you
had
received
an
excused
extension
from
your
instructor
before
the
assigned
due
date.
