Students
are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes
for which they have registered. Students are required
to make-up work that was missed as a result of his/her
absence. Excessive absences are defined by each faculty
member and included in the course syllabus. Roxbury Community
College supports and enforces the individual attendance
policy as stated on every course syllabus. Students who
have prior knowledge that they will miss a class or have
missed three (3) or more consecutive class meetings due
to illness should contact the Enrollment Management Office..
Upon receipt of documentation regarding illness, the Enrollment
Management Office. will contact the appropriate faculty
member(s) in writing to notify them that the student's
absence was due to a documented illness. When an emergency
or illness causes extended absence from class, the student
is responsible for notifying the Enrollment Management
Office. at 617-541-5304.
ABSENCE DUE TO RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 151C, Section 2B, states
that any community college student who can not attend classes,
take exams, or participate in a related activity on a particular
day because of his or her religious beliefs will be excused
from that activity. Roxbury Community College will adhere
to this law and make available another opportunity for
the student to complete that work, exam or activity at
no charge to the student, providing that this does not
create any unreasonable burden on the institution. A student
will not be subject to any prejudicial effects for exercising
his or her religious beliefs.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
A student in good academic standing may request a leave
of absence from the College for one or more semesters.
A Leave of Absence form must be completed and submitted
to the Registrar's Office, prior to the end of the
semester, in which the student is currently enrolled.
