English Division Course Attendance Policy for Students

The English Division is united in its mission to give a quality educational opportunity to all students in all our classes.  Because our classes are basically writing, reading, and literature classes, an understanding and improvement of all language skills is dependent on the social aspect of sharing one’s work, looking at the work of others, completing in class assignments and writing, participating in workshops, listening and interacting with the instructor, creating a community of readers and writers that every student can depend on, and a host of other activities that requires a significant commitment to class attendance.  All research in this area shows that success is highly related to attendance.  Therefore, as a division, we have an attendance policy (as do other academic areas of the college).  Here they are:

Your English Division  instructor reserves the right to drop any student who misses the first class meeting.

Your English Division instructor may drop you from this course if you miss, for any reason, in excess of 2/15 (two fifteenths) of your classes for this course.
