College & Career Readiness attendance expectations
Success in our program requires time, hard work and commitment. To support your success, our attendance policy requires that students attend at least 75% of their class meeting hours.
The College & Career Readiness program is delivered through hourly instruction. Therefore, regular attendance is defined as arriving on time and participating in the entire class period. Students who are unable to meet this requirement will be dropped from their classes.
Regular attendance will help you in the pursuit of your educational and career goals. It will also allow students to preregister for classes in our next quarter at locations where preregistration is an option.
