Attendance<br />

Attendance Policy<br />

Attendance is tracked and recorded on a course-by-course basis, using activity within each<br />

Monday-to-Sunday calendar week. Attendance for online courses is defined by logging in<br />

and completing a minimum of one academically-related activity per week, as outlined by<br />

the course syllabus.<br />

Administrative Withdrawal<br />

Excessive absences may result in administrative withdrawal of a student from a course<br />

or courses. <strong>Student</strong>s who do not attend an on-site course or participate in an online<br />

course by taking part in academically-related class activities at the required level and<br />

frequency during any given week will be sent an attendance warning notice advising<br />

them to attend/participate in the next week of class or they will be withdrawn from<br />

their course(s). <strong>Student</strong>s who do not attend/participate in their course(s) for any two<br />

weeks (does not need to be consecutive) are sent an administrative withdrawal notice<br />

and are withdrawn from their course(s).<br />

When excessive consecutive absences from all courses within a semester have been<br />

identified, or a student has been administratively withdrawn from the last course that<br />

was in progress for a semester, <strong>Chamberlain</strong> notifies the student that procedures have<br />

begun for the student’s administrative withdrawal from <strong>Chamberlain</strong>.<br />
