Policy for Missed Classes and Students from out of town

If a student misses a class, he/she must make it up by taking another class that is equivalent of the content in the missed class. The student may take a non-certificate class through C.I.I.S. Public Programs at a 15-25% discount. Or, the student may find a class elsewhere to fulfill the requirement. All make-up classes must be approved by Silvia Nakkach and the Director of Public Programs.
