Attendance – Students have the responsibility to attend classes regularly and apply themselves to the college classes in which they are enrolled. When you have been absent due to illness, you should explain the absence to your instructor. No credit will be given for a class in which a student is not officially enrolled. Students who do not attend the first meeting of each class in which they are registered may be dropped from the class. However, it is the students’ responsibility to officially drop any class they stop attending or do not attend.
