| Attendance Policy |
1. Because poor attendance is a leading reason for termination from a job in all areas of employment, attendance at all scheduled classes and clinical is expected. 2. A student who is absent from course activities for more than three (3) unexcused days may be dropped from the program by the Program Director. 3. Excused absences are only approved with a medical document for the day or other official documents. On the third documented excused absence, the student will be charged one unexcused absence for the semester. This will be enforced on the sixth and the ninth excused documented absence. After nine (9) excused documented absence, or more than three (3) charged unexcused days, or combination of these absences, the Program Director can drop the student for a lack of attendance. 3. Students on campus but not in class or the surgical unit are considered absent. 4. Late arrival to class or clinical is disruptive. Students who consistently arrive after the beginning of the class (2 or more times) will be counseled and a plan of corrective action determined. Class and clinical will begin promptly at the scheduled time. Students who arrive fifteen (15) minutes after the beginning of class should not enter the classroom and should wait until break to enter. 5. It is the student's responsibility to notify the instructor of any absence. If the student is unable to contact the instructor(s), the student should call 409-984-6356 or 1-800-477-5872 ext. 6356. The student should also email the faculty or call the faculty office and leave a voicemail. 6. Students who arrive after an exam starts, but before it ends, may take the exam without penalty. They are given no additional time. 7. A student must receive direct permission from an instructor before that student leaves a clinical site for the day. If a student leaves a clinical site without permission from an instructor, that student will be subject to probation for the rest of the semester or suspension from the program. 8. A student is considered a “no call, no show” if they fail to arrive in a timely manner to class or clinical without prior communication with an instructor. That student will be subject to probation for the rest of the semester or suspension from the program by the Program Director. |
