Tardiness

Students are expected to be in their positions ready for instruction at the time scheduled for the class to begin. Any deviation from this procedure is disruptive, discourteous, and unfair to instructors and to fellow students who are deprived of the total instruction period as a result.

Accordingly, students who are late for a class, laboratory, or clinical, may, at the discretion of the instructor, be denied admittance to the class meeting, and be awarded an absence mark for the class. Likewise, students who leave class, laboratory or clinical early without the permission of the instructor may, at the discretion of the instructor, be awarded an absence mark for the class.
