Prompt and regular attendance is your responsibility. You are responsible for all material covered and all assignments made in class. Any time you are absent from a class, laboratory or other scheduled events, it is your responsibility to make satisfactory arrangements for any make-up work permitted by the instructor. An absence is defined as nonattendance for any reason, including illness, emergency or official leave. If you arrive late to class, you may not be allowed into the classroom and may be considered absent for that period. When you are excessively absent, it is your responsibility to initiate the proper paperwork to withdraw from courses. In most cases, a student must attend at least 80 percent of classes in a course in order to have an opportunity to earn a passing grade. Failure to attend courses may result in the grade of F. If you receive financial aid or veterans aid, your aid may be revised as a result of any changes in your course schedule.

To minimize classroom disruptions and protect the integrity of test-taking situations, activated electronic communication devices such as pagers and telephones are generally not permitted in classrooms at Trident Technical College. The only exception to this policy will be for on-call emergency personnel (police, fire, EMS), who will be required to notify their instructor of their need for such devices at the beginning of the term and provide documentation verifying their occupation. However, on-call emergency personnel may not leave a testing situation, communicate by electronic means and return to complete an examination. In these cases, instructors should make arrangements for retesting.

Your instructor is available to you outside of class for academic assistance. Full-time faculty maintain and post regularly scheduled office hours. Adjunct faculty do not have offices on campus. Students should consult with their adjunct faculty instructors immediately before or after class. To contact an adjunct faculty by phone, students may call the Business Division office at 574-6002 and leave a message on voice mail. These messages are placed in adjunct faculty mailboxes several time throughout the day.
