8. Attendance policy
Some departments have attendance policies that all courses must follow, while others allow the professors to determine their own. At QCC, the English Department mandates the attendance policy for all classes within the department. This means that after missing a certain number of classes, you will not be able to earn a passing grade in the class.
In my many years of teaching, this policy is the one that students seem to have the hardest time understanding. You will also find that some of your professors are relaxed about attendance while others are quite strict. The best thing you can do is to read the attendance policy so that you understand how expectations for attendance in a college class is different than, say, high school.
Yes, fully online classes have attendance policies, too.
