Students are required to attend the first class meeting of courses for which they registered.
|
|
Registered students not attending the first day of the semester may be dropped from the
|
|
course(s) at the discretion of the instructor (only some departments follow this policy, as it is
|
|
optional. Please drop your course, if you will not be attending). Students having extenuating
|
|
circumstances beyond their control and who are unable to attend the first class meeting, due to
|
|
circumstances beyond their control, must notify the instructor of the department course prior to
|
|
the first class meeting. Students who add courses or late-register during the add-drop period
|
|
will not be dropped for non-attendance by the instructor during this period.
|
| |
|
Students are expected to attend all of their scheduled University classes to satisfy all academic
|
|
objectives as outlined by the instructor. In special cases, the i Instructors may establish
|
|
specific attendance requirements. These special attendance requirements must be published
|
|
in the course syllabus and disseminated at the first class meeting. It is the student's responsibility
|
|
to give the instructor notice prior to any anticipated absence, and within a reasonable amount of
|
|
time after an unanticipated absence. The effect of absences upon grades is determined by the
|
|
instructor, who reserves has the right to deal with individual cases of non-attendance and to
|
|
determine the effect of absences upon grades.
|
| |
|
In the event of absences
Instructors must allow each student who is absent due to participation
|
|
in a University-sponsored activity, instructors must allow students the opportunity to make up
|
|
work due during such absences. However, it is the student's responsibility to make prior
|
|
arrangements with the instructor to hand in written materials (e.g., assignments, papers, and
|
|
projects)
and to reschedule any activities that would normally occur in class (e.g., quizzes, tests,
|
|
presentations,
and performances). missed without any reduction in the student's final course
|
|
grade as a direct result of such absence.
|
| |
|
Instructors use a variety of means to determine the extent to which a student has met the
|
|
objectives
of a course. Students absent due to participation in University-sponsored activities
|
|
can expect their course grades to be determined based on their performance on graded
|
|
material and activities. There should not be any reduction in a student's final course grade
|
|
simply because he/she was absent due to a University-sponsored activity.
|
| |
|
For the purposes of this policy, a University-sponsored activity means any activity on or off
|
|
campus
which is initiated, aided, authorized or supervised by the University, such as academic
|
|
field/study
trips, TLO activities, intercollegiate athletic events (competition and travel related to
|
|
competition; does not include practice), official meetings of student government leaders,
|
|
university programming,
and international travel. In case of a disagreement about whether an
|
|
activity constitutes a
University-sponsored activity, the Provost shall make the determination.
|
| |
|
Students who have been dropped from a class roster for failure to pay fees or for any other
|
|
reason may continue attendance until the reinstatement deadline, as published in the University
|
|
calendar.
|
| |
|
Only students who are enrolled in classes are permitted to attend that class beyond the
|
|
reinstatement period. Special guests may be permitted to attend specific class sessions with the
|
|
permission of the instructor.
|
| |
|
Nonattendance does not guarantee a student course will be dropped from a course.
|
|
The student is fee liable for all courses for which he/she is registered for unless a drop is
|
|
initiated by the student initiates a drop.
