Attendance and Satisfactory Academic Progress. Dual credit students are expected to attend class and maintain satisfactory academic progress. Students are subject to the college’s attendance policy, outlined below: “Participation in College-sanctioned activity is considered an excused absence, provided that students complete the Excused Absence Form, have it signed by the activity advisor, and present it to all instructors prior to the impending absence. For students in dual-credit classes, high-school-and-/or UIL-sponsored absences will also be considered excused absences, provided that, prior to the impending absence, students provide instructors with signed documentation from the activity advisor. In the case of work missed due to an excused absence, when it is feasible to submit work early, students will be permitted the opportunity to do so, provided that before the absence occurs they 1) supply their instructors with documentation of the absence and 2) make arrangements with their instructors to make up the work missed. If the nature of the missed work cannot be adequately reproduced outside of the class, instructors should note how the absence may be expected to impact the student’s progress in a course. The activity advisor shall consider the instructor’s comments while determining if the student should participate in the identified activity.” Excessive and/or prolonged absences from class will negatively affect a student’s grade. Likewise, failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress in formative assignments will impact summative course grades. Faculty will report students to the Secondary Education Institution for excessive absences and/or significant failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress. The college reserves the right to withdraw the student from a dual credit class due to excessive absences and/or failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress. Students who miss more than one week of class due to secondary school suspension, assignment to alternative education and/or expulsion may be withdrawn from the college course. Student continuation in the course may be approved by mutual agreement between the college and the Secondary Education Partner.
