Class Attendance
Students are responsible for attending the classes for which they have registered. Students are responsible for reading assignments, meeting deadlines, understanding course requirements, and monitoring their progress. Faculty is available during office hours and by appointment to assist; tutoring and counseling services are available, but it is the responsibility of the student to seek assistance.
No specific number of free absences is authorized. Instructors have the authority to determine the validity of student explanations given for absences. Students late for class should see the instructor at the end of the class period. Irregular attendance and habitual tardiness may seriously affect the course grade.
When students representing the university must be absent during the school day, they should discuss (in advance) the proposed absences with their instructors and make arrangements for any work that will be missed.
Students who cannot continue attending during a term should withdraw from courses in time to avoid receiving a grade of “F.”
