HOURS OWED

General Information

Any student who does not attend 90% of the days a class is offered (excused or unexcused) will be required to make-up attendance hours. Hours are calculated by class, by semester. A student cannot miss a class period more than four times per semester. Once a student misses their 5th class period, they owe 1.5 hours for every additional missed class.

The following attendance codes generate hours owed: 

• • • A (Absence-Excused)

    • D (Absence w/Doctor Note-full day)

    • O (Unverified-Unexcused)

    • U (Unexcused)

    • 5 (Late Excused Absence)

    • 6 (Late Unexcused Absence)

What is the difference between owing hours and truancy?
Owing hours determines whether or not a student received credit for their courses. Truancy determines whether or not a student is meeting the required attendance laws.
