Attendance and Participation Policy

Each faculty member will set a total number of absences allowed before absences begin to affect a student’s participation and final course grade. This number of total absences allowed includes absences due to illness. The faculty member’s specific policy will be announced at the beginning of each course and included in the course syllabus. A student who, for no valid reason, remains absent from campus or from classes for an excessive length of time during a semester may be required to withdraw from the University.

Non-compliance with the class attendance policy for Academic Travel will result in removal from the travel portion of the course and a failing grade for the class.
