Student Infomation for TAP

ABSENCE POLICY There are no excused absences. The instructor will track your attendance and progress daily. Your presence in class is tracked using an attendance sheet provided at the beginning of each class session for you to sign. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SIGN IT. You will be counted absent if you fail to do so, even on exam dates. Absences are reported to the TAP office.

An absence is defined as the following:

TAP students are allowed 5 absences during the full semester (MWF courses)

TAP students are allowed 2 absences in IS 1101.

TARDY POLICY A tardy is defined as arriving between 10 and 29 minutes late to class. For example if class begins at 10:00am and you arrive at 10:11am, you will be counted tardy. After receiving three tardies, you will accumulate an absence.

WITHDRAWAL POLICY TAP program attendance is MANDATORY. Non-compliance with the rules of attendance will result in a student being WITHDRAWN FROM SOUTH PLAINS COLLEGE. Students may appeal withdrawals when unusual extenuating circumstances exist by picking up an Appeal of Withdrawal form in Holden Hall Room 34 within five (5) days of the last obtained absence. The written appeal, along with appropriate original documentation, must accompany the Appeal of Withdrawal form and returned to Holden Hall 34 before the five (5) days have expired.

ADVISING POLICY TAP students must seek bi-weekly TAP advising.
Should I fail to attend my prescribed TAP courses as per the TTU TAP Attendance Policy as found above, I understand that I will be WITHDRAWN FROM SOUTH PLAINS COLLEGE AND TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY.

TAP students understand that they have to maintain enrollment in the prescribed Transfer Academic Plan the full semester.
