Attendance Policy
Our courses vary in the number of instructional hours provided. As our courses offer a wide variety of professional credits governed by approving boards with varying standards and requirements for awarding of credits, the allowable absences will consequently vary from course to course. Students seeking professional credits (including, but not limited to CPE, HRCI, PDH, PDU, SHRM, ATD CI, RCH) should plan to attend all scheduled hours of the course, as courses are submitted for approval based on the full number of planned instructional hours.
To accommodate individuals who may be seeking specific numbers of credits each year to maintain their licensure, we offer a wide variety of course lengths (such as half day, full day, two day, and longer certificate programs) carrying different ranges of credits. The attendance policy for your specific course will be reiterated before and during the course. If you have specific questions about the attendance policies noted below, please contact us at 704-687-8900 or ceregistration@charlotte.edu.
