ATTENDANCE POLICY

Regular class attendance is important to the attainment of the educational objectives of the college. The cosmetology program has formulated an attendance policy that is consistent with the objectives of the program and the needs of the student to fulfill all necessary requirements needed.

In reality, there are no excused absences in Cosmetology. TDLR requires that a student can only acquire credit/clock hours if they are under the direction of a licensed Cosmetology instructor and show proof of their attendance.
Students should make every attempt to be on time and in class each day. It?s the student?s responsibility to make up assignments missed.

Students may clock in as soon as the clock is turned on until 8 a.m.

Students are tardy at 8:01 a.m. Students who are tardy will not be allowed to clock in until AFTER FIRST BREAK at 9:45 a.m.

Tardy students will be counted absent at 9:46 a.m.

A.M. absences may NOT clock until 12:00 p.m., unless authorized by an instructor.
Upon clocking in, the student must be on the lab floor on task.

The time clock is used for TDLR attendance verification. Each student is assigned a code to clock in; it is your responsibility to clock in and out each day. No student may clock in or out for another.

Students must clock out for their lunch breaks. Students not clocking out for lunch will be in violation. Failure to clock out and in after break or lunch may result in an absence.
