College enrollment assumes maturity, seriousness of purpose, and self-discipline for meeting responsibilities associated with courses for which a student registers. Students are expected to attend each meeting of every course for which they have registered. A student may be dropped from a course for non attendance by the course instructor. Under no circumstances will an absence, for any reason, excuse the student from completing all work assigned in a given course. After an absence, it is the student's responsibility to check with the instructor about completion of missed assignments, quizzes and exams.
Attendance in Distance Education courses is accomplished by logging into WebCT weekly, checking and replying to course email, checking the discussion board for course notices, participating in electronic discussions, and completing graded quizzes and exams on time.
