General regulations regarding class attendance at North Central Texas College are:

1. Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered.
2. All absences are considered to be unauthorized unless the student is absent due to sickness or emergencies which are approved by the instructor, or due to participation in an approved college-sponsored activity (which requires written approval from the appropriate instructional Dean).
3. The instructor is responsible for judging the validity of any reasons given for absence. Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work.
4. Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless they have reasons acceptable to the instructor. A student who is compelled to be absent when a test is given should petition the instructor, in advance if possible, for permission to postpone the exam.
5. Students may be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instructor who feels the student has been unjustifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to preclude meeting the course’s objectives.
6. Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories may be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College.
7. Students who are dropped for non-attendance from a developmental course required for TASP purposes will be dropped from all remaining courses for that semester. Official TASP rules state that students not passing all sections of the TASP test MUST be enrolled in at least one area of remediation each semester they are enrolled or until all sections of the TASP test are passed or all remedial requirements have been met.NOTE: It is understood that many students attending North Central Texas College are commuters and that they may have to travel considerable distances to attend classes. In case of inclement weather, students are asked to use their own judgement in regard to road hazards. Students must remember that they are responsible for consulting instructors about make-up work when such an absence occurs.
