CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY
It is the responsibility of the student to attend all scheduled meetings in
the courses in which he/she is enrolled. If a student is absent more than twice
the number of required class or laboratory sessions per week during regular
semesters or more than 15 percent of required sessions during accelerated semesters,
a grade of F or W will normally be assigned, unless absences have been excused
for cause by the instructor.
Individual instructors may choose alternative requirements for attendance.
It is the responsibility of the instructor to inform students, at the beginning
of each course, of all attendance policies. The instructor, at his/her discretion,
may utilize a warning of excessive absences or compulsory attendance. Attendance
policies will be outlined on the class syllabus.
If a student violates the stated attendance policy, the instructor will notify
the Office of the Registrar to drop the student from the class with
the appropriate grade. It is the responsibility of a student to
make up work missed because of absence from announced tests and
laboratory sessions. However, announced tests and laboratory sessions
may be made up only at the discretion of the instructor.
