Attendance & Expectations
Attendance & Expectations
Going to every class meeting, taking notes, practicing active listening and participating in class are vital to your success. Additionally, making sure that you arrive prepared for each class via completion of assigned readings and assignments is critical.
You are expected to attend classes in order to satisfactorily complete course objectives. For distance learning courses, you are expected to comply with the course syllabus requirements.
It is your responsibility to consult with instructors and meet with your advisor when course policies and objectives, such as the attendance policy, cannot be met. You are strongly encouraged to officially drop/withdraw if you stop attending class for any reason.
As a college student, meeting deadlines, communicating with instructors, and registering for ACC classes via your Self-Service student planning tool is solely your responsibility.
When you register for an ACC college class, you are responsible for dropping or withdrawing from it by the published deadline or you will receive a final letter grade. Not going to class will not automatically drop you!
Be mindful of the fact that you are expected to attend and make academic progress. If you don’t, you can be dropped from a course via an instructor-initiated withdrawal!
Tip: In order to receive an “A” in a college course, plan to devote 3 hours outside of class for every hour in class for homework and required readings. That totals 9 hours per week for one ACC 3-credit hour course!
