Academic Policies

It is the intention of the college to offer uninterrupted courses of study to its students; however, in the event that the college is unable to continue some or all academic instruction because of a natural disaster, power failure, fire, strikes, damage by the elements, or other event beyond its control, tuition and other fees are not refundable and damages not payable.

Attendance Policy

Regular attendance in all classes is required. Students are expected to arrive on time and remain in class for the entire period scheduled. The responsibility for work missed due to any type of absence rests with the student. Attendance is mandatory. Three unexcused absences will result in a student failing the class. Three lates is equivalent to one unexcused absence. Any exceptions are up to the discretion of the instructor.

Auditing Policy

CCA does not permit students to audit classes.

Students are advised to check with their instructors before the end of the second week of the term to verify that their names are on all class rosters. Those who discover that their names are missing from a class roster must submit a completed Add/Drop Form to the Student Records office before the end of the add/drop period if they wish to continue attending the class. Under no circumstances will a student be permitted to add a class after the final meeting, even with a letter of support from the instructor.
