The responsibility of the School of Architecture, Interior Design and Construction Management at Triton College is to teach you practical drawing, design and construction management skills, and a broad understanding of building science and theory.  Our faculty are committed to excellence in education.  We believe the following requirements are an important part of your learning process. We will provide a structured environment so that the greatest number of students can benefit from these educational opportunities. To maximize our efforts to provide you with the best educational experience, we expect you to develop professional attitudes regarding your studies. It has been shown through the years that when students follow these guidelines, they become successful and valuable contributors to the profession.

1. You are required to attend all classes. Listening, observing, and interacting with other students and faculty is a vital part of your education. Students who miss a class will receive an absence for that day. Your attendance will impact your grade.

2. If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to find out from a fellow student what was presented, and what is due for the next class. You are expected to be prepared for the next class. You must complete all missed assignments so that you will not fall behind. At your Professor's option, you may be allowed to complete a special project to make up for an absence and improve your attendance grade. To see a list of potential special projects, click here.
