Student Attendance Policy:

It is the policy of the Turtle Mountain Community College to maintain and enforce attendance requirements for all students.

This policy places the responsibility on students to attend class. To pursue college work successfully, students are expected to attend all classes. Students have a personal responsibility to themselves and their course instructor to attend class. If a student is unable to attend class, it is their responsibility to notify their instructor, preferably in advance.

Attendance is reported weekly to a Student Services Official and is released to the Financial Aid Official to determine aid eligibility and last date of attendance. Students must be in attendance at least 67% of the total credit hours that they are currently enrolled in to receive Title IV funding. This would exclude any eight-week mini courses that have not started or which are completed for the current semester.

Examples of being eligible in 67% of total credits:

*If a student is enrolled in 12 credit hours, they must be eligible in a minimum of 8 out of 12 credits.

*If a student is enrolled in 15 credits hours, they must be eligible in a minimum of 10 out of 15 credits.
