Attendance
Students are responsible for understanding and following the specific course attendance requirements of their instructors as outlined in the course syllabus. If at all possible, the student should contact the respective instructor prior to any absence. Only class instructors can excuse students from class for reasons other than participation in college approved functions. No absences are “excused” in the sense of relieving the student from the responsibility of making up missed work. Students are responsible for mastery of material and completion of assignments missed. Failure to do so may affect grades regardless of the reason for the absence.
TMCC recognizes the value of participation in extracurricular activities. Thus, a student can be excused from class in the case of college approved functions. In such instances, the student is responsible for notifying the instructor of the absence prior to the class.
