Attendance PolicyStudents are receiving an education for direct entry into thelabor market; consequently, an attempt is made to instill ineach student good attendance habits. Employers report thatimportant criteria for potential employees are dependabilityand punctuality. Afrequent inquiry made by employers call-ing the job placement office is the attendance record of for-mer students who are potential employees. Because of theimportance of students’ attendance records, faculty andadministration place a high emphasis on attendance in addi-tion to the skills and knowledge gained in the classroomsand labs. Students are subject to dismissal for excessiveabsences.Although an adult student body has various reasons forabsences, attendance standards must be set in order for stu-dents to meet the objectives of a quality training program.This attendance regulation is formulated with the intent ofdealing firmly and consistently with those who are absentexcessively, yet it allows considerations for those who mustbe absent for legitimate reasons.All classes will begin and end at their scheduled time. Threetardies will be counted as one absence. A student may bedropped from the class roll when his/her absences exceed10% of the total class hours for the course. Work missedmay be made-up at the discretion of the instructor.

Grade Point AverageThe quarterly grade point average (GPA) is the numericalaverage computed by dividing total quality points (for eachcourse, hours attempted multiplied by grade value) by totalhours attempted in a quarter (see below). Acumulative GPAis calculated by dividing total quality points by total hoursattempted at the College.

For example: 41 Total Quality Points divided by 16 HoursAttempted equals a GPA of 2.56.

Work EthicsAt Ogeechee Technical College, we believe it is extremelyimportant to encourage good work habits as an integral partof the instructional program. To achieve this, every creditcourse at OTC incorporates concepts of work ethics into thecourse curriculum. Desirable work traits are emphasized,including attendance, character, teamwork, appearance, atti-tude, productivity, organizational skills, communication,cooperation, and respect. As part of the evaluation process, the student receives awork ethics grade for each credit course. The work ethicsgrades are designed to evaluate and encourage good workhabits. Performance factors and indicators include, but arenot limited to, quality of work, ability to follow instructions,productivity, dependability, honesty, reliability, attendanceand punctuality, attitude, integrity, enthusiasm, interperson-al skills, and initiative.Students receive a work ethics grade (3, 2, 1 or 0) each quar-ter for each course in which they enroll. The work ethicsgrade does not affect the academic grade point average(GPA) of a student; work ethics grades remain separatefrom academic grades. Work Ethics grades are posted quar-terly to the student’s transcript via Banner web.
