Attendance Policy

One of the key elements of CJC’s teaching ethos is ensuring that students engage fully with their studies. The college enforces a strict 100% attendance policy. Students must attend all classes, and if there is an absence, they must discuss it with the relevant lecturer or head of department (HOD). If a student attends fewer than 80% of their classes, they will not be permitted to sit for exams in that subject.
