The following are extracts
from Section 7, Student Rules
“”The university views class attendance as an
individual student responsibility. Students are expected to attend class and to
complete all assignments. Instructors are expected to give adequate notice of
the dates on which major tests will be given and assignments will be due. This
information should be provided on the course syllabus, which should be
distributed at the first class meeting. Graduate students are expected to
attend all examinations required by departments or advisory committees as
scheduled formally.”
“7.1 The student is responsible for providing
satisfactory evidence to the instructor to substantiate the reason for absence.
Among the reasons absences are considered excused by the university are the
following:”
“7.5 If the student is seeking an excused
absence, the student must notify the instructor as soon as possible after the
absence, but no later than the end of the second working day after the last
date of absence. If the absence occurs the same day as a scheduled exam or
other graded procedure, the student must notify his/her instructor or
department by the end of the next working day after the absence in order to
ensure full rights. The student is responsible for providing satisfactory
evidence to the instructor within one week of his or her absence return to
substantiate the reason for absence. If the absence was excused, the instructor
must either provide the student an opportunity to make up the exam or other
work missed or provide a satisfactory alternative completed within 30 calendar
days from the last date of absence.”
“7.6 The instructor is under no obligation to
provide an opportunity for the student to make up work missed because of an
unexcused absence.”
