Fayetteville Technical Community College is committed to student success, retention, and progression. The College believes that when students participate in class regularly, they are demonstrating responsibility and commitment to their education.
While the College does not have an institutional attendance policy, taking attendance is required through the census date of the class. The Office of Veteran Affairs requires notification when VA students stop attending class, and instructors are responsible for reporting these dates. Additionally, some programs may have outside regulatory bodies that require a minimum of course attendance hours e.
Cosmetology, BLET, health programs, etc. For fully online courses, a student must complete a graded assignment on or before the census date. For face-to-face and hybrid courses, a student must both be physically present in the class and complete any required online assignments on or before the census date.
Following the census date of the course, students are expected to actively participate in all scheduled courses. Expectations for active participation for each class will be included in the course syllabus and be provided to students at the beginning of the academic term.
Students who do not actively participate may be withdrawn from their courses by the faculty member. Active participation includes, but is not limited to the following academically related activities:. As required by law, students are allowed two days of excused absences each academic year for religious observances. Students must notify instructors in writing in advance of expected religious absences.
