General Attendance/Absence Policy
Lakeview College of Nursing expects students to attend all classes, laboratories, and clinical sessions in which they are enrolled. Attendance is mandatory for clinical and lab sessions and will be recorded for all scheduled activities. Students must arrive on time and stay for the entire designated period. Attendance will be taken for each class, laboratory, and clinical session.
Students violating the clinical/lab dress code or student conduct code will not be permitted to attend or remain in the class, laboratory, or clinical experience, and an absence will be recorded. A Lakeview College of Nursing-issued student ID badge must be worn at all times in class, lab, and clinical settings.
Theory Attendance Policy
Attendance at all classroom sessions is crucial for student success. Students must prepare for each session by completing required readings and assignments. If a student misses two (2) scheduled classes during the semester, the course coordinator will evaluate the student’s ability to complete the course. Attendance will be taken during each theory period. Refer to the course syllabus for specific attendance requirements and consequences.
Hybird-Online Course Attendance Policy
Attendance is equally important for online classroom sessions. Students must prepare for each online session and actively participate from the beginning of the course. Attendance will be taken weekly if a student does not actively complete content for two (2) online sessions during the semester. In that case, the course coordinator will evaluate the student’s ability to complete the course, which may result in course failure.
