Academic Policies

Undergraduate Course Attendance Policy

 The university expects all students to attend class.

Individual faculty members may define attendance standards appropriate to each course and the consequences of not meeting those standards, within the following guidelines:

  1. Each policy must be distributed in writing during the first week of the course. Normally, it is expected that the information dealing with class attendance standards will be distributed with the Semester Course Syllabus.
  2. Each policy must recognize students need to miss class because of illness or personal emergency.
  3. Each policy must define some limited level of allowable absence, normally at least a number of clock hours equal to course semester hours.
