Attendance Policy
Students in SCPS classes are expected to arrive promptly and attend every class meeting.
Success in SCPS courses will heavily depend on attendance and participation in the classroom. Because of the intensity of the eight-week class format, missing one class is equivalent to missing approximately two weeks of course content in the semester format, and will affect your grade.
If you are unable to attend or will be late for a class meeting, you must notify the instructor in advance of the absence. The instructor reserves the right to decide how absences will affect your grade, and whether make-up assignments will be given or accepted. Unexcused absences may result in failing the course.
Withdrawals from SCPS Courses
SCPS courses follow an adusted withdrawal schedule than the 16-week calendar. Students who enroll in SCPS courses must adhere to the SCPS academic calendar and the withdrawl schedule as outlined by the Office of the Bursar.
