202 Record of Student Absences

It is important that an accurate record be kept of student absences, regardless of the instructor's policy about class cuts.  This information may be needed:
  1. By the deans, in making decisions about a student's academic or disciplinary status.
  2. By the Vice President of Business and Finance, in determining refund status when a student withdraws without formal notification.
  3. By parents, especially of students who may be disciplinary or academic problems (may be given only by consent of the student, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974).
  4. By prospective employers, who are interested in the student's general attendance record (may be given only by  consent of the student, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974).
  5. By the Veterans' Administration for the determination of a student's eligibility for benefits.
