CLASSROOM POLICIES ATTENDANCE Classroom attendance and punctuality is vital to academic success. If you miss a class, you need to contact a classmate to get the notes you missed. Students who do not maintain regular attendance will be withdrawn by the professor, unless other arrangements have been made with the professor. Missing the equivalent of more than 2 weeks of classes for any reason, other than absences excused in accordance with Valencias policies, is excessive and a basis for withdrawal.

WITHDRAWAL Per Valencia Policy 4-07 (Academic Progress, Course Attendance and Grades, and Withdrawals), a student who withdraws from class before the established deadline for a particular term will receive a grade of W. A student is not permitted to withdraw after the withdrawal deadline. A faculty member MAY withdraw a student up to the beginning of the final exam period for violation of the class attendance policy. A student who is withdrawn by faculty for violation of the class attendance policy will receive a grade of W. Any student who withdraws or is withdrawn from a class during a third or subsequent attempt in the same course will be assigned a grade of F. For a complete policy and procedure overview on Valencia Policy 4-07 please go to: http://valenciacc.edu/generalcounsel/policydetail.cfm?RecordID=75.
