Absenteeism Policy is an institution’s statement on absence from class: how an absence is to be reported, and what consequences follow as absences accumulate.
What the catalog says
The catalog states: “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 graduation: “To meet graduation requirements, a student must achieve, at a minimum, 80% cumulative attendance reliability standards…”
It adds: “Students absent or not actively participating online for more than 14 calendar days will be dropped.”
