Policies: Attendance

5 Regular attendance and consistent participation within the classroom, lab, and clinical experiences facilitate the achievement of course outcomes set forth in the course syllabi. Students must arrive on time and stay for the duration of the class meeting, lab, and/or clinical experience. Late arrival may result in denied access to the class. Absences and/or tardiness from lecture, pre-clinical, clinical (including pre- and post-conferences), and/or lab experiences (including pre- and debriefing) may prohibit students from completing all components of the nursing course, resulting in course failure. Attendance is tracked for all eight weeks of the session on a course-by-course basis and is recorded daily based on academic events. An academic event for onsite courses is defined by attending scheduled class meetings. An academic event for online courses is defined by submitting a class assignment, participating in threaded discussions, or completing quizzes and exams. An academic event for blended courses is defined by attendance in the onsite component or by submitting a class assignment, participating in threaded discussions or completing quizzes and exams in the online component. Laboratory Class and Clinical Experiences Lab time is utilized to practice and master skills to meet criteria that demonstrate completion of course outcomes. Students must complete all required lab, clinical and pre-clinical experiences in order to satisfy the clinical hours for each course. Demonstration of nursing skills and/or required competencies must be performed satisfactorily to pass the lab component of the course (see Skills Checklist for criteria). In cases of emergency or severe illness, equivalent learning opportunities for absences may be offered, at the discretion of the faculty member and contingent upon availability of resources.

Students must notify the instructor and clinical agency in a manner specified by the instructor within the requested time frame. Students who are not in the appropriate attire and/or are not prepared for clinical practice may be dismissed from the clinical setting Late Exam Policy All exams are to be taken at the assigned time and on the assigned day.

If a student does NOT take an exam either early or at the assigned time and day for any reason, 5% will be subtracted from the student’s exam score for each day late. For example the student will lose 5% off their exam score if the exam is taken within the first day (1-23 hours late), 10% off their exam after the 1st day (24-47 hours), 15% off their exam score after the 2nd day (48-71 hours) …etc Students who do NOT take their exam by Day 5 will receive 0 points for the exam.
