Attendance

Students are expected to be present and on time for all scheduled classes. Attendance policies for each course are included in the syllabus. In case of inclement weather, students are responsible for making their own decisions about road safety. The student will be held responsible for all academic requirements regardless of class attendance. Students enrolled in courses with mandated attendance requirements, such as BLET, must follow the requirements as set forth by the State Board of Community Colleges Code. MCC Faculty record student attendance in LEO.
