State - Mandated Attendance Requirement
Attendance is mandatory for the nursing assistant course. Students may be allowed to miss up to two classes but are required to make up for the missed time. Failure to make up for missed time will result in course failure. If a third class or clinical session is missed, the student will fail the course. Clinical time must be made up at the clinical site, and not with a written assignment. Students may have the option to attend a lecture, lab, or clinical session with another instructor to avoid grading deductions. Students are responsible to coordinate makeup times with their instructor. In case of documented illness or emergency, a waiver may be granted.
