<\/a>Attendance Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Students are expected to attend all classes, labs and clinical practice courses. It is the student\u2019s responsibility to obtain information or assignments that are missed due to absence. The student must notify each instructor and\/or clinical supervisor of an absence. It is the instructor\u2019s prerogative to determine whether or not an examination can be \u201cmade up\u201d due to an absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more specific information on attendance for clinical courses see section titled Attendance for Clinical Practice Courses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Punctuality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Punctuality is a valued professional behavior and an expectation in the Radiation Therapy Program. It is expected that students will arrive on time and participate in classroom discussions. Chronic lateness disrupts the flow of the classroom and is disrespectful to classmates. Your instructor, reserves the right to not allow you to enter the classroom due to chronic lateness. This applies to all scheduled class times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course Exams and Proctoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Integrity of exam taking is ensured through proctoring, oral exam or other methods deemed appropriate by course instructor. Course exams will be proctored by an instructor or official proctor during the exam including hybrid and online courses. Online exams taken by the students will utilize college\/program\u2019s electronic devices in a proctored setting. If a student is unable to attend a scheduled exam, the student is responsible for notifying the instructor and proctor. Make up exams are at the discretion of the instructor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
