Punctuality and attendance by the instructor are expected, but sometimes emergencies or illnesses do occur.

What do I do if I’m going to be late to class or if I’m absent?

If you are going to be late to class, please call the faculty building secretary and let them know when you will arrive and what your class should do. Every effort to contact and hold your class for you will be made.

If you need to be absent, please call your coordinator or failing that, the building secretary. Let this person know the class assignment and how long you anticipate you will be out. When you return the building secretary has an Attendance Form for you to fill out. (See the negotiated contract for use of sick leave).

What do I do about classes outside normal 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. working hours?

Early start (7:00 am classes) instructors can call the Campus Security office, ext. 3218 if you will be late and/or absent. For evening classes, you can contact the Center for Extended Learning, ext. 3341. Please ask to have a sign posted on the classroom door indicating if you will be late or if the class is cancelled.
