ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Attendance is required in all dental hygiene classes (didactic, laboratory and clinic). It is the student’s responsibility to arrive on time and be prepared for class.

§ Any absence must be reported to the program administrative assistant by 8:00 a.m. Absences and tardies are tracked by the administrative assistant.
§ If any absence occurs during a scheduled test or examination, the student will receive an automatic zero (0).
§ Extended absences for emergency circumstances will be dealt with on an individual basis.
§ More than two absences will result in the lowering of a full letter grade.
§ Three or more tardies are equal to one absence.
§ If 20 percent or more of a lecture or laboratory class is missed, the student will receive a failing grade.
Missed Clinics Cannot Be Made Up
Academic Integrity:
The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor.
