Class Attendance Policy

Students should attend every class session.  Students who cannot attend class due to illness or school sanctioned activity (field trip, sporting event, etc.) should notify their instructor before missing class. 

• Students who will miss more than one day of classes for personal reasons must get approval from the Chief Academic Officer.

• Classes will be held immediately before and after breaks unless arrangements are made with the Chief Academic Officer. 

• Face to face courses are required to have a final meeting period for an exam, presentation, or other comprehensive course activity.  The final meeting period must meet on the day and hour scheduled. Changes in location and time from the in-class Final Class Meeting Schedule require authorization from the Chief Academic Officer.  

Students can petition exceptions to the Class Attendance Policy by submitting an email to the Chief Academic Officer at vpaa@greenville.edu.  Students who petition for an exception to any of the categories above will be required to pay a $30 fee.

The CAO Office will be responsible to inform Student Accounts, the student, and their faculty of the petition and decision.
