ATTENDANCE POLICIES
In accordance with the University’s philosophy, regular class and clinical attendance are considered necessary if the student is to complete the course objectives in a satisfactory manner. Attendance is considered a legitimate basis for grading. Due to the nature of the curriculum and obligations to clients, students cannot easily make up time missed in the theory and/or clinical area, eliminating the option for voluntary absences. Students are expected to attend all classes and every clinical session for which they are scheduled. Students are expected to come to class and clinical on time. Students will sign an attendance sheet for each theory/clinical day. Student signatures after the assigned day are not acceptable unless approved by instructor. Students are not allowed to sign on behalf of another student. This is a full-time nursing program where theory classes are scheduled from Monday to Friday. Depending on the clinical facility, some clinical classes may be scheduled on the weekend, evenings, and nights. Students are to plan scheduled appointments and other activities to avoid conflict with class obligations. Emergencies, should they arise, will be handled on a case-by-case basis, and make up hours are not guaranteed
