1.10 | Attendance

1.10.A | Class attendance and participation is an individual student responsibility. Students taking traditional face-to-face courses are expected to attend class and to complete all assignments by stated due dates. Violation of this attendance policy is subject to disciplinary action through the Student Conduct process.

1.10.B | Individual instructors have the right to set reasonable and clearly explained attendance standards for their classes. If an attendance requirement is adopted because regular active participation is essential to satisfactory mastery of the course content, the requirement should be reasonable and clearly explained in the course syllabus. If a student wishes to contest the fairness of an instructor’s attendance policy, a complaint should be filed in accordance with the Student Grievance procedures. When an instructor believes that excessive absences have put a student’s grade in jeopardy, the instructors should report this information to Advising Services who will contact the student and will attempt to resolve the problem.
