Attendance Policy
Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes. However, it is recognized that occasional absences may be necessary. A student is responsible for work missed and is expected to be prepared for the next class. Academic departments establish their own class attendance policy. The attendance policy is explained by the instructor at the first class meeting. Students who have not attended at least once by the 10 percent date of the class will be dropped by the instructor as “never attended.” Pursuant to G.S. 115D-5, students may request two excused absences per academic year for religious observances. Students shall be given the opportunity to make up any tests or other work missed as required by this statute.
