Which statement accurately reflects Broward College's attendance guidelines?

• A. Attendance is identical across all courses.
• B. Attendance expectations vary by course; instructors set requirements; excessive unexcused absences may affect participation grades and progression.
• C. Absences never affect grades.
• D. Students may miss unlimited classes with a note.

Answer: (B)

Attendance policies vary by course and are set by the instructor, with penalties tied to excessive unexcused absences. This reflects how different classes balance structure and flexibility: some courses (especially ones with labs, group work, or in-person participation) rely more on regular attendance, while others (like online sections) have different expectations. The syllabus usually specifies how many unexcused absences are allowed and what happens if you exceed that limit—often affecting your participation grade and your ability to progress in the course. In short, there isn’t a single universal rule across all classes; the course determines the attendance requirements and the consequences for missing too many sessions.
