Each student is expected to be in his respective class on time at every session as scheduled. All necessary tardiness or absence must be arranged for with the director and respective instructor to be governed by the following:

1. Leave of Absence. Such is granted to students under conditions that are beyond their control, such as road hazards, weather conditions, sickness, death in the immediate family, necessary official business and representing the school.

2. Absences and Class Cuts. No Absence is permitted, except as indicated in the above paragraph. No class cuts are excused. Each case will be reviewed by the Director and faculty committee. Anyone who’s attendance is determined unsatisfactory will be dismissed. Appointments with doctors and dentists should be made for after school and on Saturdays.

3. Tardiness. Being late to chapel and classes will not be tolerated. Being tardy three times equals one unexcused absence; three unexcused absences subject one to dismissal.

For each unexcused absence, the student’s final grade average will be reduced five points. A written reason for each tardiness or absence must be presented to the instructor. Unsatisfactory attendance will be reported to the director.
