Effective: January 24, 2018
Class attendance is vital to student success because it provides opportunities to
enhance learning by interacting with fellow classmates and instructors. With this
goal in mind, the English Department created its attendance policy. When students
register for a course which meets on a specific day(s) and time, they are consenting
to be on time and present. Faculty members follow the policy in an effort to treat
everyone equally.
Note:
Remember that absences should be used only if absolutely necessary for bereavement,
serious illness, court appearances, and other unavoidable circumstances.
- Students are allowed a maximum of four absences.
- Two late arrivals or early departures equal one absence
- Absences may result in a reduction of the final grade at the discretion of the faculty
member

or she may continue to attend class, a final grade of “F” may be given at the discretion
