ATTENDANCE POLICY  

• As stated in the CCCC Student Handbook, "Regular
  classroom attendance . . . is expected of all
  students" (26). Therefore if you accumulate
  three absences, you should consult with me (your
  professor) to avoid a grade penalty. After 3
  absences, your grade will be penalized for each
  absence. After 6 absences, you should initiate
  drop proceedings unless you receive a special
  dispensation from me. If you are absent for any
  reason, you should contact me or a classmate to
  find out the assignment for the next class. You
  will be held responsible for work due the class
  time following an absence. Exceptions to this
  policy require a student/professor agreement.
