College & Career Readiness attendance expectations
Achieving success in the program demands time, hard work and commitment. To support your success, Wake Tech requires students to attend at least 70% of their class meeting hours.
The College & Career Readiness program is delivered through hourly instruction. Regular attendance involves attending class upon receiving an invite, arriving on time and participating throughout the entire class period. Students who fail to meet these requirements will be removed from their classes.
Regular attendance will help you in pursuing your educational and career goals and will also enable students to preregister for classes in the next term.
