| Attendance Policy: | |||||||||
| Pellissippi
State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled
instructional activities. As a minimum, students in all courses must
be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory
meetings in order to receive credit for the course (Pellissippi State Catalog).
Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice
president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are
more stringent.
Other Policies: Absence: Due to the limited number of class meetings scheduled, more than one absence will result in a failing grade – No Pass Roll: Roll will be taken at the beginning of the class period. Two tardies will count as one absence. Leaving class early without prior consent of the instructor is not acceptable and will count as an absence. Make-up Work: In the event of an absence, students must use their own initiative to secure lecture notes, assignments, and other information that might have been covered during the class period. |
