Attendance
Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes for which they have registered. Students are required to make-up work that was missed as a result of his/her absence. Excessive absences are defined by each faculty member and included in the course syllabus. Roxbury Community College supports and enforces the individual attendance policy as stated on every course syllabus. Students who have prior knowledge that they will miss a class or have missed three (3) or more consecutive class meetings due to illness should contact the Enrollment Management Office.. Upon receipt of documentation regarding illness, the Enrollment Management Office. will contact the appropriate faculty member(s) in writing to notify them that the student's absence was due to a documented illness. When an emergency or illness causes extended absence from class, the student is responsible for notifying the Enrollment Management Office. at 617-541-5304.
ABSENCE DUE TO RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 151C, Section 2B, states that any community college student who can not attend classes, take exams, or participate in a related activity on a particular day because of his or her religious beliefs will be excused from that activity. Roxbury Community College will adhere to this law and make available another opportunity for the student to complete that work, exam or activity at no charge to the student, providing that this does not create any unreasonable burden on the institution. A student will not be subject to any prejudicial effects for exercising his or her religious beliefs.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
A student in good academic standing may request a leave of absence from the College for one or more semesters. A Leave of Absence form must be completed and submitted to the Registrar's Office, prior to the end of the semester, in which the student is currently enrolled.
