Attendance Policy:1. A student should recognize that one of the most important aspects of a their education is classroom attendance and participation. The value of this part of the academic experience cannot be fully measured by testing procedures. You must attend all classes, except where noted.2. Absences resulting from illness, death in the family, or institutional activities (those approved by the Camus Administration such as Extracurricular, and Athletics) are to be excused when a student reports and verifies them to the instructor. For such excused absences, the student will not be penalized.3. When students attend classes, they are in a position to make significant contributions to their learning experiences and the learning experiences of other students by asking relevant questions, making pertinent observations, and sharing information. When a student misses class, the student and the class both suffer from a missed opportunity to exchange information and promote the learning process. Students should attend and participate in class.4. Students will be held accountable for all requirements and information covered in all classes, whether or not they attend. If it becomes necessary to give quizzes to spur attendance or learning, quizzes may be given and their results applied to any test scores.
