VI. ATTENDANCE POLICY

COM-FSM Attendance policy will be followed strictly. More than 6 absences will mean withdrawal from the course.

TARDIES: My policy is to count tardies as partial absences. After 5 minutes it is 0.1 Absence for every 5 minutes late.

Each student must sign the Attendance Sheet at the beginning of each class period or risk being counted absent. Do not sign for friends.

Call the College Office (320-3795) to leave a message for a “validated” absence or call or email Mrs. Chaine (320-4616) chaine@comfsm.fm. You are responsible for all classroom assignments, quizzes and tests, even for “validated” absences. Graded work should be made up within a week of absence.

IN THE CLASSROOM

Show respect towards others in the classroom. Work cooperatively and critically in groups.

Please make an organized binder of your work, present and past until the class ends in December. Bring your handouts to class everyday. Being organized is the first step to success.

Smoking, eating, drinking, chewing, spitting aren’t permitted in the classroom
