Class attendance policies are in effect from the first scheduled class meeting. All students in the ADN program are expected to attend all scheduled class meetings, laboratory sessions, and clinicals for their course(s). Students in the nursing program should recognize their academic responsibilities by attending class and by being on time.
The grades of students who miss scheduled exams, unscheduled quizzes, deadlines for turning in assignments or projects, or scheduled group projects may be negatively impacted by their absence.
Because of unique circumstances, timing, equipment availability, clinical availabifity, or faculty schedules, not all missed examinations, quizzes, laboratory work, or projects may be available for make-up. Individual instructors wil make decisions regarding excused absences.
Students should be aware that course progression, financial assistance, etc., are influenced by attendance. For detailed information regarding the College Attendance Policy, please refer to the WCC College Catalog and Student Handbook.
Students who do not want to continue attending a nursing course or courses are urged to initiate the withdrawal process. Withdrawal deadlines are published in the WCC Class Schedule each semester.
