Attendance Policy

Attendance Policy

Regular attendance is a critical part of your success. Students are expected to attend class meetings as scheduled. When an absence is unavoidable, students should notify their instructors as soon as possible. Make-up work and deadlines will be at the discretion of the instructor. Faculty may adopt attendance policies in the classes they teach. In such cases, the faculty member will describe the policy and its impact, if any, on the student's grade.

Daytona State College takes attendance twice within each session of a term. The first attendance roster is completed following the add/drop period of each session (A, B, and full term). Financial aid students who are marked as not attending during this time will be dropped from the course for non-attendance because attendance in the course is required to apply that class to your financial aid eligibility.

A second attendance roster will go out after the withdrawal deadline for each session. Students who are reported as not attending leading up to the published withdrawal deadline date will be administratively withdrawn from the class. A last date of attendance will be reported and used to calculate the return of any Title IV aid (including Pell grant, Stafford Loans, etc.).
