Absences

By the direction of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, attendance shall be taken at all class sessions. Regular attendance is expected of every student. Attendance at the first class meeting is strongly recommended because of enrollment demands.  If a student does not attend the first class meeting the instructor may drop them from the course. 

While an instructor may drop a student for excessive absences, it is the student's responsibility to officially drop the class by visiting one of the Admissions and Registration offices, located at each NOCE Center, or online by logging onto MyGateway at noce.edu/mygateway.
