Students are expected to attend all scheduled class meetings. The course syllabus will include the instructor’s attendance policy. Students must contact the instructor if they are unable to attend class. Students are responsible for all coursework during an absence. Instructors are not required to assign make-up assignments, exams, or extra credit. Excessive absences will have a negative effect on students’ ability to meet the course objectives and may result in a failing grade. Roxbury Community College supports and enforces the attendance policy as stated on every course syllabus.
Students who have missed, or know that they will miss, more than three consecutive classes due to illness should contact their dean and academic/faculty advisor. Upon receipt of documentation regarding the illness, the dean will notify the appropriate faculty in writing that the student’s absence was due to a documented illness.
