Attendance

Class attendance at CCV is essential to your success. Since most classes meet just once a week for about three hours, missing even one class can make a noticeable difference in what you gain from a course. In addition to attending all classes, you should expect to do at least two hours of homework for every hour you spend in class, either on-ground or in instructor-led discussions and other activities in online courses. See your course description, syllabus, and the attendance and financial aid policies for more details. If you cannot attend class, contact your faculty member beforehand and make arrangements for making up any missed work.

Missing more than three classes may jeopardize course credit. Many faculty members count regular attendance as a requirement and consider class discussion to be essential to a vibrant, positive teaching and learning experience. You are part of a community of learners; that means making a commitment to be present.

In addition, most financial aid awards depend on regular attendance, and irregular attendance may cause you to lose your financial aid award. This may result in a bill from the College. You are strongly urged to ensure your success at CCV by making regular attendance a top priority.
