Attendance
Expectations
Since
classes at Alverno involve active participation through discussions,
small group or laboratory work, attendance is expected. Instructors
expect students to be responsible for coming to class on time. Consistent
tardiness may be considered an absence. When students enroll in
a course, they are accountable for all course requirements.
When extenuating circumstances arise, the student is expected to
contact the instructor regarding making up missed work. The Advising
Office may serve as a contact point for students with exceptional
circumstances such as surgeries, extended illnesses, jury duty,
etc.
Instructors may advise a student to drop a course,
or may decide that a student is ineligible to continue attending
a course if attendance has not been regular or the student has missed
the first class meeting. However, in both instances: If the student
chooses to drop the course, it is the student’s responsibility
to officially drop the course by contacting the Registrar’s
Office.
