Attendance and Absence Policy

Although this is an online program, students are expected to maintain consistent attendance and assignment submissions throughout the program. Students should report anticipated extended absences (greater than 7 days) to their instructor via e-mail. Failure to maintain attendance and course progress could result in being denied access to the program and possible expulsion.

While this is a self-paced course, each semester has a set length of access to help students progress through the program, and all semester assignments must be completed by each semester’s end date. Students are provided with their semester end date at the start of each semester and are responsible for noting this date and completing work on time. Students should contact their instructor with any questions.

NOTE: For requests for extensions, deferrals, and leaves of absence, please see the individual sections in this Program Handbook.

Students are also expected to contact their instructor upon return from absence to check for any information that may have been disbursed during their absence.
