Attendance Policy

Attendance will be taken daily and will be calculated into your final grade. A student’s grade is subject to drop one grade level for every 10% of class and or lab time missed. Any student whose final attendance is below 75% of class hours (see section for incomplete grade) will receive a final grade of 'F'.  In addition, Students may be subject to the attendance policy listed on the CCD website under your student responsibilities at:

https://www.ccd.edu/administration/non-academic-departments/office-student-conduct/expectation-of-a-student

Only excused absences will qualify to make up time missed. Excused absences must be approved by the instructor and are granted on an emergency basis. These will include medical accommodations documented by CCD (Accessibility Center), a note from a medical doctor stating what time is to be missed, or time missed due to a documented family emergency. A police report, hospital report, letter documenting a court appearance, obituary stating you as a relative, or a letter from your child’s school counselor will qualify for documentation of an emergency.

Call or e-mail your instructor if you are going to be late or absent for class that day.
