Yes, you can flunk out of a community college. Each college has requirements for the GPA you have to maintain, and for how many semesters you must maintain it before being placed on academic probation and then suspension.
You can generally reapply after a waiting period, which will also vary from one school to another. No, they will kick you out for not bothering to turn up. Your daily attendance record in high school is not something they look at. However, your regular attendance probably has quite a strong bearing on your GPA, which is definitely something colleges consider. The findings of this study indicate that attendance has a significant moderately positive relationship with academic achievement.
They also indicate that attendance has a significant positive effect on academic achievement but that the effect of attendance is reduced when student characteristics are controlled for.
While true that most professors give students two or three unexcused absences per semester, it is best to save those for when you really, really need them. Reasons included not being in the mood, personal issues, health issues, lecture issues and no negative consequences. Just make sure you take notes on the lecture you missed, professors generally have lectures online somewhere.
I feel like the older I get, and the more involved with my work that I am, the farther and farther the time gaps are between being with my friends and family. But there are still ways to lessen the sadness and frustration that comes with not seeing your friends. I miss the days in college when my alarm clock would be set in the P.
Funny how angry I was then, and how funny it is now. I miss laughing until my stomach hurts. I miss the lakes and I miss my friends. I miss my best friends and the parties we attend or crash. Sometimes we tell people we miss them cos we really do and we want them to know how special they are to us. And sometimes we feel sad and bad when it means nothing to them. Naturally, missing your SO is a totally normal reaction to being separated from them. But, this feeling of missing someone is not necessarily love.
It just may be the first signs of having a crush on someone, an attraction, lust or just pure infatuation. If your explanation of what students are to do in the case of missing an exam, and how their grade is affected, is not easily understood, revise it. In developing your policy, do you want students to:. Policies should reflect the nature of the exam or graded assignment. If you are teaching an introductory course and each module largely stands alone, it may be appropriate for students to make up a missed exam late in the semester.
But if you want students to demonstrate knowledge or competency on an exam or assignment because future course material builds on that which comes earlier, you want to give the students much less time to make up the missed work. Common policies. You might also consider allowing students to take make-up exams during exam periods in other courses you are teaching. Make your policies easy to implement. To maintain your sanity and keep your stress level manageable, you must be able to easily implement your policies.
For example, even if you, a secretary, or a graduate student distribute and proctor make-up exams, problems can arise. For example:. Encourage appropriate, responsible, mature behaviors.
For example, one colleague includes this statement in the syllabus:. I expect students to make every effort to take required exams and make course presentations as scheduled. If you know in advance you will miss such a requirement, please notify me. If you are ill or other circumstances cause you to miss a required graded activity, notify me as soon as possible. God lives in the details. If you or a secretary hold make-up exams in an office, you may want to draw a map on how to get there.
It is not uncommon for students to fail to find the office at the time of the exam, and wander around a large university building. Students Who Miss Exams You have a variety of alternatives available on how to treat students who miss a scheduled exam.
Select those that fit your course and the requirements of learning students must demonstrate. Requiring make-up exams. If you collect all copies of your multiple choice or short answer exams, you may be able to use the same exam for make-ups.
Our experience is that it is extremely rare that students deliberately miss an exam to have more time to study, whereas asking peers about specific exam questions more commonly occurs. Your experiences may be different. However, if you put exams on file at the university testing center, and students can take them weeks apart, you may want different forms.
If you have concerns, you will need to prepare an equivalent, alternative form of the regular exam, as is often the case for essay tests. Using procedures other than a make-up exam. Consider whether students will learn what you want from various alternatives and whether this work is equal to what students must demonstrate on exams before adopting such procedures.
If your course contains numerous graded assignments of equal difficulty, and if it is equitable for students to choose to ignore a course module by not studying or taking the exam, you should consider this process. Other teachers build extra credit into the course.
Scheduling make-ups. Pick one or two times a week that are convenient for you, a department secretary, or teaching assistant, and schedule your make-ups then.
Some faculty use a common time midway through the semester and at the end of the semester as an alternative. Such assignments often measure different kinds of learning than exams: the ability to work in groups, critical thinking as demonstrated in a poster, or an oral presentation graded in part on professional use of language. But you do have some alternatives. Keeping the required assignment the same. Alternatively, students can present their oral work or poster in another course you are teaching if the content is relevant and time allows it.
The oral required assignment also can be delivered just to the teacher or videotaped or turned in on audiotape. Alternative assignments. As with missed exams, you can weigh other assignments disproportionately to substitute for in-class graded work — by doubling a similar assignment if you have more than one during the semester, for example. The dilemma, of course, is not allowing students easy avenues to avoid a required module or assignment without penalty.
For example, oral assignments can be turned in as written work, although this may negate some of the reasons for the assignment. When we asked colleagues about alternatives for missed in-class graded assignments as compared with exams , almost everyone cautioned against listing them in the course syllabus. They felt that students could then weigh the make-up assignment versus the original and choose the one that gave them the greatest chance of doing well, and also the least amount of anxiety in-class presentations often make students nervous.
They recommended simply telling students that arrangements would be made for those missing in-class required graded work on a case-by-case basis. When the Whole Class Misses a Required Exam or Assignment On rare, but very memorable, occasions the entire class may miss an exam or assignment. If you fall ill and are not able to sit the exam for this reason, it should not count as an attempt - given that you document the illness to the faculty within one week of the exam.
In certain cases, being absent from an exam should not count as an exam attempt. Valid reasons for being absent include the following:. You do not need to upload documentation on your absence, regardless of the reasons for your absence.
Please submit your absence form no later than one week after the exam. If you become ill during the exam and need to withdraw from the exam, you should not deliver the exam. See UiBs academic regulations on withdrawal from an exam NO. You may sign up for a new attempt at an exam, provided that you have not spent three attempts and that all mandatory work is valid. The validity of mandatory work varies in duration depending on the course, and is explained on the course home page.
All courses have ordinary examinations both semesters. You can sign up for a new evaluation on the Studentweb by finding the course in earlier semesters and choosing "New evaluation".
