Attendance Policies

Attendance will be recorded at every class or lab meeting at the beginning of class and after long breaks for required hours. For a week long certification course, students are required to attend all sessions to obtain certification. For VA students, it is especially important because they will receive benefits only for those days in attendance.

Special Policy: Fire Fighter I/II: Students are expected to attend all classes. Failure to appear in class for a scheduled activity will be considered an absence, unless prior permission is received from the instructor. For any absence to be excused and makeup work to be allowed, it must be accompanied by a written description of extenuating circumstances.

Department Delivery: Attendance of courses taught at locations other than the Alabama Fire College shall be restricted to members of Alabama state, county, and municipal agencies, except where courses are established through the AFC Industrial or DoD Programs Division or by an articulation agreement with a post-secondary institution.
