Attendance Policy
A student who is not officially registered may not attend a university course.
The university expects regular attendance at all class meetings. Instructors must communicate any particular attendance requirements of the course to students in writing before the first class meeting. Students are responsible for acquainting themselves with and satisfying the entire range of academic objectives and requirements as defined by the instructor.
Students are not automatically dropped from class(es) if they do not attend. They must officially drop their class(es) by the published deadline in the academic calendar to avoid a W grade.
Students absent from class to participate in officially sanctioned university activities (e.g. band, debate, student government, intercollegiate athletics) or religious obligations, or with instructor’s approval, shall be permitted to make up both assignments and examinations.
Unexpected university facility closures due to weather, emergency or disaster may occur from time to time. Students may be required to complete coursework missed due to these or other class cancellations. However, instructors requiring mandatory make-up sessions may not penalize students if they are unable to attend due to time conflicts, etc.
