I AM CONCERNED THAT MY VA
APPOINTMENTS MAY INTERFERE WITH
CLASS. WHAT IS THE NWTC POLICY ON
THIS?
Non-Emergent Excused Absence Policy
NWTC considers certain class absences to be officially excused without
jeopardizing student academic standing. Students shall be excused from classes
for: mandatory religious observations, military service or requirements, VA
appointments, jury duty, and participation in college sponsored events. Students
shall not be penalized for excused absences and shall be allowed to make up
missed quizzes or tests.
Exceptions would include a class in which the nature of the class makes
attendance and active student participation a mandatory requirement. Such as:
•
•
•
Classes which have a state or accrediting agency requirement
minimum number of hours of instruction
Seminars with frequent in-class student discussions and/or
Classes, clinical or labs with specific learning activities that
cannot be made up with reasonable accommodations.
