STUDENT ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS 5020

POLICY:
Students must attend the first meeting of their classes each semester in order to verify their class enrollments. Students failing to appear are withdrawn from class rolls.

Regular attendance and participation is required of all students enrolled in course work at Solano Community College. This includes regular attendance, completion of examinations, completion of assignments and participation in class activities and discussion.

Regular attendance is an obligation assumed by every student at the time of registration. Absences per semester should not exceed the number of hours that a class meets per week. Absences in excess of the maximum may result in students being dropped from classes or having their grades lowered. Students who fail to attend their classes will be dropped by their instructors no later than the end of sixty-two.five (62.5) percent of a full-term class, short-term class, or summer session. Students have the responsibility for verifying their enrollment status. Students who withdraw from classes are responsible for initiating the drop process by the appropriate deadlines.
