Online Attendance Guideline

 

An online attendance guideline has been adopted by Southwest Georgia Technical College in an effort to support student academic achievement and retention. SWGTC utilizes ANGEL through the Georgia Virtual Technical College as its Learning Management System for all online classes.  Atttendance in an online class is demonstrated through active participation. 

Active participation is defined as consistent and timely:

  • Involvement on course discussion board (including student-instructor and/or student-student communications)
  • Submission and/or completion of course assignments (including all homework, quizzes, tests/exams)
  • Contribution and/or completion of course projects (including collaborative)
  • Connection to assignment links, and/or
  • Communication with course instructor

Logging into the course site does not constitute attendance. 

    A student accumulating non-attendance of two weeks, whether consecutive and/or nonconsecutive (the equivalent of 20% of the course), will be withdrawn from the class.
