ATTENDANCE

Students are expected to attend all classes, lab periods and field work regularly and to arrive

promptly. The faculty and administration of KVCC believe that unauthorized or excessive absenteeism or

lateness reflects directly upon the reliability of a student and can be an indicator of how the student will

perform on the job after graduation. The design of programs at the College renders lost time virtually

impossible to make up. For these reasons, the College has adopted the following policy:

     1) Each instructor takes attendance and keeps records.

     2) It is the student’s obligation to check with the instructor on the first day back for any work

          missed or to be made up.

    3) If a person experiences a major illness requiring an absence of several weeks, he/she may be

        14 Kennebec Valley Community College

        unable to complete course(s). It is imperative that the student (or his/her designee) notify the

        instructor.

    4) If an instructor is not present when the class is scheduled to begin, the students should report

      his/her absence to the Academic Affairs Office and/or Department Chair. If the instructor or a

     substitute is not present fifteen minutes after the scheduled beginning time, the class will be

     canceled.
