Students at NWTC must attend a minimum of ninety percent (90%) of the class sessions each semester for successful program completion. Students who do not maintain this minimum requirement for any reason other than school activities or extenuating circumstances (such as doctor's statement, hospitalization, or death in family), may be dismissed and/or denied a passing grade in the program. Absences due to approved school activities, extended illness, or for other reasons deemed unavoidable by the NWTC Administrator will not be charged against the minimum attendance requirement.

Students are expected to attend school every day. Regular attendance is essential for good evaluations and success in schoolwork as well as for future employment opportunities.

Attendance Requirements for Financial Aid Students
Adult students on financial aid are required to attend 90% of the hours in each pay period. Acceptable attendance is defined as missing no more than 10% of any pay period, documented or undocumented. The 10% of class time missed during a pay period may be considered excused and the student's pay period will not be moved forward for absences that fall within the 10%. Failure to attend the 90% will result in the student being placed on financial aid probation or suspension.

Attendance is recorded in three-hour increments, i.e. a student attending six hours per day is counted absent twice when the whole day is missed. Adult students attending under funding by federal aid or other outside agencies, or who are in a program or major leading to a licensure are responsible for maintaining their attendance as required by these agencies/departments.
