Attendance Policy
Students are encouraged and expected to attend all class meetings including online participation requirements as well as meet all class deadlines. Communication with instructors is highly encouraged if a student is required to miss class meetings or deadlines. Instructors are allowed to administratively withdraw students for non-attendance. Some programs have attendance and class hour requirements as part of a state or national licensing program – see program specific handbooks for additional information. Missing classes for school sponsored extra-curricular activities can usually be excused if prior approval is requested by the student. Students who have attendance issues are encouraged to seek help from their Student Success Coach to seek options. The full attendance policy can be found in the Vernon College General Catalog located on the Vernon College website at www.vernoncollege.edu.
