The College believes that regular class attendance is essential to learning. We do understand that there might be necessary absences; however you cannot be absent from any class more than three weeks in a semester.

A student who is on academic probation is not permitted to participate in any co-curricular activity, such as athletics, music groups, Songfest, drama productions, and student publications nor will he/she be allowed to hold an office in any club or student organization.
