No Show Policy
The definition of a “no-show” is a student who is registered for a class but does not establish academic participation during the first week of the semester. Atlanta Technical College has designated certain assignments (such as the Start Strong Quiz or syllabus acknowledgment) as the official No Show Assignment. Completion of this assignment constitutes attendance for all course formats, including face-to-face, hybrid, web-enhanced, and fully online courses. Students who do not complete the required assignment during the first week of the semester will be reported as “no-shows.”
Any student reported as a “no-show” will be administratively removed from the class and, in some cases, may not be eligible for reinstatement in the current semester. Students should also be aware that being reported as a “no-show,” as well as course withdrawals, can jeopardize current and future financial aid eligibility.
