Attendance
Regular attendance for classes is expected of all graduate students by the University and may be a course requirement. Frequent absences can result in a lowered grade or possible course failure. The following regulations are in effect:
- A student is responsible for class attendance, although each instructor should establish his/her policy and inform the class.
- A student absent from class for five (5) consecutive days or less should, upon return, explain the absence to the instructor.
- A student absent from class for more than five (5) days, who has not been seen as a patient in the University Health Service for the evaluation of the illness, should submit verification of the absence from his/her physician to the Office of Student Affairs. Notification of a student's absence will be relayed to the appropriate professor only if a physician's verification is submitted at the time of the request for notification.
- Students are expected to notify instructors in advance for absences related to official University trips, conferences, intercollegiate athletic events, musical performances, and other events.
- Make-up work is the responsibility of the student.
