A. Class
NOTE: Students are expected to be in class EVERY CLASS DAY AND ON TIME. Students are expected to attend all classes for which they are registered. Students should recognize at the beginning of their college career that a mature acceptance of their academic responsibilities is a requisite for accomplishment in college work; this applies particularly in the area of class attendance.
Policies on workbooks, assignments, in-class projects and missed exams are addressed on each course syllabus. Allied Health Programs are extremely demanding of student time and energy and even one missed class day can result in academic difficulty. In order to meet the requirements for program completion in a CoARC accredited Respiratory Therapy Program and to be eligible for NBRC exams students are required to have sufficient quality and duration to meet program goals and acquire the competencies needed to practice in the Respiratory Therapy profession.
B. Absence
Upon the Second absence in any given course or clinical, the student will be referred to the Program Director and/or Director of Clinical Education for counseling.
C. Clinical
See Attendance policy under clinical policies and procedures.
