3.5. Attendance Policy

Attendance

All absences must be documented in writing using the form found at the back of this notebook on online in the HBI online website and signed by the instructor or instructors of the missed classes then sent to the Registrar (additional forms can be found in the church office).  Ministry responsibilities, military reserve duty, and work-related time out of class should be taken into account as part of the absence policy.  Should more classes be affected, written approval should be requested through the registrar prior to time out of class.  It is the responsibility of each student to make-up missed class work. 

Snow closing / Class cancelation

HBI staff, students and faculty members can obtain information on the cancellation of classes, or the closing of offices due to the weather by calling (816) 380-3033.

Attendance

Attendance is not kept by the professors of individual classes. Each student is expected to mark themselves present for each class in the attendance book. No student should mark any other student present or absent. No student should mark themselves present for future classes even on the same day. The way in which attendance is determined or any penalties for absence (if any), is also at the discretion of the instructor.
