Attendance Policy
Students are expected to be present, on time and remain for the entire session in all of their regularly scheduled class or on-line sessions. Participation is particularly important at Neumont since many of the courses require collaborative learning activities. The College recognizes the correlation between student attendance and student retention, achievement, and success. The official attendance policy in each class is left to the discretion of the individual faculty. Instructors will announce their attendance policy at the beginning of each course and include it in the syllabus.
No person may attend a class unless officially enrolled on a credit or non-credit basis without the express permission of a designated school official. Students must pay all required fees for participation in the course.
Attendance During Add/Drop and Course Adjustment Periods
Students who do not attend or participate in an academically related activity during the add/drop and course adjustment periods may be subject to removal from a course. For online classes, students are required to participate in an academically related activity within the first three days of the sprint. An academically related activity is any event that demonstrates a student is engaged, such as contributing to an online discussion, submitting an assignment or initiating contact with a faculty member. Simply logging into an online class does not constitute activity.
Refer to the Student Handbook for the specific details regarding the attendance policy.
