A new policy dealing with absenteeism was announced this week by L. H. Hall, dean of instruction. The policy will become effective Dec. 1 for career education students on a clock-hour basis; for the credit hour students, it goes into effect at the beginning of the spring semester 1976.
Under this new policy, the following number of absences will be the maximum allowable: Clock-hour programs — full-time students will be allowed 7 absences per quarter; one-half time — 4 absences per quarter. Credit hour programs — Students attending MWF classes will be allowed 6 per semester and the TTh students will be permitted 4 per semester. Night classes meeting once per week will allow 2 absences per semester.
