Harper College

Attendance Policy

Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory class completion. Each instructor or program coordinator has the responsibility of establishing the attendance requirements which best suit the educational goals of a class or program. No central class attendance record is kept other than a required midterm report. It is the student's responsibility to learn the instructor's attendance policy for each course, as well as to discuss with their instructors any extraordinary circumstances affecting his/her attendance. Students may not attend a class without registering and paying for the class. Students will not receive credit for any course for which the registration was not completed in a timely manner in accordance with college procedures.  Also, it is against college policy to attend or participate in a course in which one is not registered.
