Attendance<br />
<strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>College</strong> recognizes the importance of attendance in the learning<br />
process but does not believe that attendance in and of itself constitutes learning.<br />
Instructors will document in their course syllabi fair and reasonable attendance policies<br />
for their classes based on their subject matter, delivery methods, learning activities,<br />
student audience, external regulations, <strong>College</strong> and departmental guidelines,<br />
and employer expectations in their field of instruction. <strong>Student</strong>s are responsible for<br />
reading and understanding each class attendance policy and for learning any material<br />
covered during an absence.<br />
Credit for Prior Learning<br />
Transfer Credits from another Institution<br />
A student must be accepted to a postsecondary program at <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
before transfer credits will be awarded. <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>College</strong> must have<br />
official transcripts on file before transfer credits are awarded. A minimum grade of<br />
C is required for courses to be accepted in transfer. Courses with a grade of C- or<br />
below will not be accepted. A counselor will evaluate the transcripts. The program<br />
counselors work with course instructors, academic deans, and the Advanced Standing<br />
counselor to determine course transfer credit.<br />
