Absenteeism Policy is an institutional attendance rule that sets out how absence from class is to be reported and what follows when absences accumulate.
What the catalog says
“If, for any reason, a student must be absent from class, the student must contact the instructor immediately. Repeated absences may result in disciplinary action, just as it may on a job. Excessive absences may also lead to program interruption and/or dismissal.”
On the standard itself: “To meet graduation requirements, a student must achieve, at a minimum, 80% cumulative attendance reliability standards, and failure to achieve the attendance standard will result in the student being placed on attendance probation, as outlined under the section titled “Attendance Policy” in this catalog.”
“Students absent or not actively participating online for more than 14 calendar days will be dropped.”
