Common Hour

To facilitate a common meeting time when there are no scheduled classes, Wednesday, 11:00 a.m. - 12:15

p.m. is designated as Common Hour. Students are encouraged to attend any scheduled College event or

club meeting during this time. Events are advertised via the school bulletin boards, Web site, and Calendar

of Events.

Delinquent Accounts

All monies owed the College must be paid prior to the release of grade reports, transcripts, degrees or

registration for future semesters.

Faculty Member Absent from Class

In the event that a faculty member is not present at the normal time a class is scheduled to begin, and

students have not been previously notified, students are to wait in the class for a minimum of 15 minutes.

At the end of that time, if the faculty member has not arrived and no special instructions have been received,

students are permitted to leave without penalty.

Religious Absences

If a student is absent from class due to his/her religious beliefs, the College is required, by law, to give the

student an equivalent opportunity to make up any examinations, study or work requirements which may have

been missed because of such absence.
