Attendance Regulations Every instructor will pass out a class syllabus, which will detail the class curriculum and attendance expectations for that course. Regular and punctual attendance is expected and all absences are to be considered unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergency.

The instructor is responsible for judging the validity of any reasons given, however, the student is still responsible for any work missed. A student will not be able to make up an examination unless their reasons are acceptable to the instructor. Note: A student may be dropped by the registrar for excessive absences or tardies as recommended by the instructor.

Official transcripts maybe requested from the Office of the Registrar. There is not a fee charged, however, a signed written request is required for all transcripts going to an individual or place of business.
