ACADEMIC STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES I. CLASSROOM CONDUCT A. Attendance
Attendance is required at all scheduled classes. All missed classes must be made up (See “Make-up Work” below; IID). Students can miss up to 10% of classes per semester (24) for sickness. These hours do not roll over to the following semester. After being absent more than 24 class hours (10%), the student loses 3% off his/her grade per class hour missed beyond the allowed 24 classes. Students may submit an appeal to the Associate Academic Dean if they feel that an absence(s) should not count against their final grade. This appeal must be made within 48 hours of exceeding the maximum allowed sick hours. Class absences due to Word of Life ministry assignments will not be counted against the 24 hours. If a student abuses the sick day policy (skipping class, etc.), disciplinary action may result, including receiving a zero for the course(s) missed. Permission to miss class for other reasons must be arranged through a special permission request. If permission is granted, the missed hours will still count towards the 24-class hour limit. Students are expected to be in class on time so as not to be a distraction to other students. After 10 minutes, the classroom doors are locked for security reasons. At that point, students are not able to enter the classroom. If a student misses 10 minutes or more of any class hour, that hour will be regarded as an absence. Since WOLBI is not accredited as a “Distance Learning Program (“Online Classes”), an excessive number of class periods being made up may result in a student being unable to complete the program and having to withdraw.
