What percent of total course hours may a cadet miss before it becomes a concern?

• A. 5%
• B. 10%
• C. 15%
• D. 20%

Answer: (B)

Attendance thresholds are used to ensure students stay engaged and on track. The policy sets a tolerance for absences as a percentage of total course hours, with ten percent being the cutoff before it becomes a concern. You may miss up to ten percent before action is considered, which helps accommodate emergencies while keeping learning momentum. Exceeding that threshold can trigger steps like counseling or required meetings to address attendance and its impact on performance. A stricter limit would be too harsh for occasional unavoidable absences, while a looser limit could allow too much class time to be missed and still be considered acceptable.
