Attendance Policy

CCJ is considered as one of the regular attendance-taking institution and hence regular attendance and punctuality is essential for the successful completion of the course. To pass relevant coursework with a successful grade, students are recommended to maintain satisfactory attendance (80%). In each coursework, the student attendance is counted as participation for a course grade. Positive attendance accounting will be maintained by each instructor. An absence of more than half of the classes in a day will be counted as an absence for the entire day. Serious illness, hospitalisation and other such emergencies may be taken into account if notified and explained prior to class and/or with proper documentation. Every student is expected to attend class in a timely manner. It is also expected that the student will make every effort not to let personal circumstances preclude class attendance. Doctor’s notes are needed in case of hospitalisation or medical treatment. It is the students’ responsibility to contact the instructor concerning make-up of absences. Lower attendance may result in course failure and academic probation (official warning) and three (3) probations will result in the termination of the student’s status from CCJ.

Students must be in the class or lab throughout the day’s academic sessions, unless assigned elsewhere by the instructor. Three (3) such absences / permissions are counted as one (1) absence and is accounted to the attendance rate. The student’s attendance records as well as grade reports are submitted to the academic department and examined by the staff every 2 weeks.
