--Please familiarize yourself with BC's Attendance Policy. See Broward College website: www.broward.edu. Search “Rights and Responsibilities Policy Matters.”
--Professor’s Attendance Policy: You are considered a Broward College student in this class and must adhere to the guidelines of BC for attendance. Attendance is very important in a college course:
- Your final grade will be reduced by 10 points for every four unexcused absences. For example, four unexcused absences would reduce a final grade of B to a C, and eight unexcused absences would reduce a final grade of B to a D. If you receive a D in this course, you do not receive college credit. Beginning in August 2023, two unexcused tardies will be considered equivalent to one unexcused absence.
- For every excused absence, in addition to having your parent or guardian call the Attendance Secretary, you must provide a note from your parent/guardian/physician that explains the legitimate reason for your absence. The note should be given to the Attendance Secretary in Portable 14. Written documentation for the absence is necessary and will be kept on file.
- Field trips are an important part of high school life; however, you should exercise discretion in deciding which field trips to attend (an important club event, a college, or a career event).
- Any work due when you have an unexcused absence or an unexcused tardy will not be accepted. All assignments are due at the beginning of class.
- Makeup work for unexcused absences or unexcused tardies is not allowed.
- If you go on a field trip from school on the day an assignment is due, you must hand-deliver the assignment to me in the morning. You should bring the assignment to the office secretary if I am not in my room. You also have the option of turning the assignment in the day before.
