Section 5. Academic Regulations, relating to Class Attendance and Participation
Regulations
Replace Section 5: Class Attendance
and Participation Regulations with the following:
“CLASS
ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION REGULATIONS
Students are expected to
attend punctually all lecture and laboratory sessions and field experiences and
to participate in course assignments and activities as described in the course
syllabus. Absences are counted from the first class meeting, and, at the
discretion of the instructor, absences because of late registration may not be
automatically excused.
Each instructor shall
determine the class attendance policy for each of his or her courses, as long
as the instructor’s policy does not conflict with university policy as
described herein. The instructor’s
attendance policy, along with other course requirements, will be presented to
the class, preferably in writing, at the first class meeting. Faculty may
include class attendance as criteria in determining a student’s final grade in
the course. If class attendance is to
affect a student’s grade, then a written statement to that effect must be part
of the course syllabus.
Excused
absences should not lower a student’s course grade, provided that the student,
in a manner determined by the instructor, is able to make up the work that has
been missed and is maintaining satisfactory progress in the course. If a student anticipates that he or she may
miss more than 10% of class meeting time as a result of university-excused
absences, the student is required to discuss this matter with the instructor at
the beginning of the semester.
Instructors are expected to
honor valid University excuses for student absences and to provide reasonable
and equitable means for students to make up work missed as a result of those
absences. Student experiences that cannot be made up should be discussed at the
onset of the courses to ensure that continued enrollment is feasible while
there is still the opportunity to drop the course within the schedule change
period. Instructors may require that students provide reasonable advanced
notice of a university-excused absence, when possible. It is the student’s
responsibility to obtain verification of a university-excused absence by
contacting the Office of the Provost or his or her designee. Requests for university-excused absences
should be submitted, whenever possible, to the Office of the Provost or his or
her designee at least a week prior to the scheduled absence. Requests submitted after the fact will be
disapproved unless circumstances made prior approval impossible.
The death of an immediate
family member or student participation in religious holidays may be considered
an excused absence under university policy. Should such a circumstance occur,
and the faculty member desires verification, the student should contact the
Office of the Provost or his or her designee for a university-excused absence
and provide documentation of the particulars.
The Student Health Service
does not issue official written excuses for illness or injury except in the
case of a final examination when a grade of incomplete (I) is requested by the
student. Upon student request, however, the Student Health Service will confirm
that the student has received medical care.
The Office of the Provost
or his or her designee may authorize university excused absences for the
following activities:
1. Participation in authorized activities as an
official representative of the university (i.e., sporting events, delegate to
regional or national meetings or conferences, participation in and necessary
travel to and from university-sponsored performances);
2. Participation in other activities deemed by
the Office of the Provost or his or her designee to warrant an excused absence.
Any student who feels that he or she has been treated
unfairly concerning absences or has been misinformed by the faculty member regarding
that instructor’s absence policy shall have the right to appeal through the
appropriate Dean.”
