Course Attendance

Wiregrass Georgia Technical College expects that all students shall regularly attend all scheduled class meetings held for instruction and examination. It is recognized that class attendance is essentially a matter between students and their instructors. Instructors must explain their absence policy in the course syllabus if the course is an attendance-taking course. All students are held responsible for knowing the specific attendance requirements as prescribed by their instructors and for the satisfactory make-up work missed by absences. When students are to be absent from class, they should immediately contact the instructor.

Attendance Taking Courses

Wiregrass Georgia Technical College prepares students for successful employment upon graduation. Business and industry expect employees to be present and on time for work each day, and WGTC supports this expectation by encouraging students to attend class regularly to prepare for the workforce. WGTC is a non-attendance-taking institution. However, some instructors may develop reasonable attendance requirements appropriate to the type of course, delivery method, frequency of class meetings, and in accordance with the rules of respective licensure boards and/or accrediting agencies. Instructors will communicate the requirements to students within the course syllabi; and will apply the requirements fairly and consistently to all enrolled students.
