C. Other Policies and Procedures: Absences should be reserved for unusual circumstances since the student is allowed a certain number of absences in which "no penalty" is applied. Absences beyond these will result in points being deducted from the student's grade. The basis for this can be found in the preceding attendance scale.
When a student is participating in a school activity approved by the Dean of
the
College, the student will not be penalized for the absence but must make up
the work
within
a week of the scheduled event.
The policy relating to cheating and student conduct can be found in the College Student Handbook. Persistent unexcused absences can result in the instructor having the student administratively withdrawn from the class. The procedure involves the recommendation of the instructor to administratively withdraw the student. If the Dean of the College approves the recommendation, the student is withdrawn from the class.
Children are not allowed to attend this class.
