CLASS ATTENDANCE

The attendance policy at Bladen Community College is based on regular, punctual, and continuing attendance at all lecture, laboratory, and shop periods. There are no free "cuts" or other permissive absences authorized. All absences are subject to penalty at the discretion of the instructor. Classroom assignments missed due to absences may be made up at the convenience of the instructor. Faculty members will maintain an accurate attendance roster to effectively support the following policy:

1. Attendance at all class meetings is expected.

2. Students whose absences exceed 20% of all scheduled contact hours may be dropped from the course by the instructor for excessive absences. In such cases, re-admittance to class will be at the discretion of each instructor.

3. Attendance policies provided to students by individual instructors through course syllabi will reflect the existing policy of the College.
