Fall 2014 Attendance Policy Expanded

Course attendance and participation are necessary in order to receive maximum benefits from the educational process and to achieve academically. Your record of attendance will begin on the first day of the course, even if you register late, such as adding during the drop/add period. Students are expected to attend and complete all scheduled instructional activities, both in class and online. A student may withdraw up to the published last date to withdraw from any course. If the student drops the course during the add/drop period, no course tuition will be charged. If a withdrawal occurs after the drop/add period, tuition charges will result. Students who do not attend after the last day to withdraw will receive a grade of F in the course unless prior communication and approval for an incomplete (I) has been made. Requirements for an incomplete (I) are detailed in the course and/or department and/or division policies. Ceasing to attend does not constitute an official withdrawal from the course. Ceasing to attend courses will result in Returning to Title IV (Financial Aid) processing as required per federal regulations. Administrative removal from a course:

• If you preregister for a course but subsequently do not meet the prerequisite for the course, the course will be deleted from your schedule. Students will be notified via official college communication channels that this course has been removed. Because the course is deleted from your schedule prior to or during the add/drop period of the term, there will be no tuition charges for this course. (This type of course deletion is referred to as “RGVE – prerequisites not met.”)

• If you register for a course but fail to attend (including failing to meet the criteria for being

counted as present in an online course), you will be administratively withdrawn from the course, and a WA will appear on your transcript for this course. You will be responsible for payment for this course with the amount of payment dependent on the date of withdrawal. Students will be notified via official college communication channels that they have been administratively withdrawn with a WA grade assigned. (This type of administrative withdrawal is referred to as “NIC – never in class.”)

• If you register for a course, attend at least once during the drop/add period for the course (usually the first 1-5 days of the semester) but do not attend the course or meet the criteria to be counted as present in an online course after the drop/add period has passed, you will be administratively withdrawn from the course and a W will appear on your transcript. You will be responsible for payment for this course with the amount of payment dependent on the date of withdrawal. Students will be notified via official college communication channels that they have been administratively withdrawn with a W grade assigned. (This type of administrative withdrawal is referred to as “DNR – did not return.”)

• If you are recorded absent for more than 20 percent of the course contact hours, whether face-to-face, online, or hybrid, you will be administratively withdrawn from the course. Students will be notified via official college communication channels that the absences limit has been exceeded and that they have been administratively withdrawn, and a grade of W will be assigned for this course on your transcript. You will be responsible for the full cost of the course; no refunds will be processed.

Administrative reinstatement into a course:

• A $75 reinstatement fee will be charged for each course into which reinstatement is approved.

• A student who has been administratively withdrawn from a course may request reinstatement; approval from the instructor and/or the dean will be necessary. Students must have notified the instructor of the absences as they have occurred via the student’s g-mail account and must also provide documentation for the circumstances. Students should not assume that work can be made up; any course, departmental, or division policies regarding make-ups will apply.

• Only one reinstatement during the term will be permitted, unless the circumstances are of an

extremely unusual nature, such as military duties, death in the immediate family, and/or medical emergencies. The instructor will require verification of such absences. If a request for a second reinstatement is necessary, approval of the academic dean will be required AND the student must be performing at a level of at least 70%.

• A reinstatement that is requested after the last day to withdraw from the course has occurred will be considered only if the absences occurred prior to the last day to withdraw.

With the approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, individual departments may set attendance requirements that are more stringent than those stated above and publish such in the course syllabus. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the departmental attendance policy. For a complete withdrawal from Greenville Technical College, please see the college’s policy with respect to withdrawal from all enrolled courses. In all situations above in which your course load is reduced due to drops and/or withdrawals, this may affect your full-time or part-time enrollment status. VA and other financial aid may also be affected, as well as eligibility for residence in GTC Foundation Student Housing.
