Attendance Procedure

A goal of Southern Crescent Technical College is to place dependable, competent employees in the workplace. Students are expected to attend class regularly and to be punctual. Attendance requirements are contained in the syllabus of each course. It is the responsibility of the student to read and comply with the attendance requirements that affect work ethics assessments and may affect the academic grade.

Attendance in a distance education course follows the same attendance requirements as the traditional classes offered on campus. Attendance is granted to a student when the student logs into BLACKBOARD, and then enters their course.

Students who cease to attend class and receive an “F” grade, may be required to return funds to Southern Crescent Technical College and/or the U.S. Department of Education.

No-Show Procedure

A student is considered a no-show when the student does not attend class or gain access to an online or hybrid course and complete an assignment by the no-show deadline of the semester (see student academic calendar). When a student accesses an online or hybrid course, through the learning management system, and completes an assignment before the no-show deadline, the student is considered to be in attendance. Likewise, when a student is present in the classroom during any scheduled class time before the no-show deadline of the semester, the student will be considered in attendance.

  • Traditional & Web Enhanced Courses: Physical attendance, in class, is required during the first week of the semester, up to the No Show deadline;
  • Online Courses: Gaining access to the course and completing an assignment is required before the No Show deadline;
  • K1 & K2 Courses: Physical attendance and/or gaining access to the course is required during the first week of the semester, unless the instructor has indicated otherwise, up to the No Show deadline.

Because submitting a student as a no-show triggers a tuition refund, a student may not attend the class after being submitted as such. Only with permission of the instructor, the Office of Academic Affairs, the Business Office, and the Office of Financial Aid (if applicable) may a student be reinstated in the course.
