Attendance is calculated using a computerized time clock. To ensure proper credit for clock hours, full-time students are required to clock in/out: when they arrive at school, when they leave for lunch or dinner, and when they return from lunch or dinner, and when they leave at the end of the day.  If a student fails to clock in or out for their schedule on the student time clock, the student will not receive hours.  If the student wishes to dispute any hours they feel earned, the student must provide documentation to verify attendance.
