Academic Information - Attendance

Absences are exclusively within the purview of the faculty. When a student enrolls in a course, he/she enters into a contractual agreement with faculty for the duration of the course. Both the student and the faculty are expected to honor the specified terms of that agreement. It is important, therefore, for the student to understand the particular attendance requirements in each course. Generally, faculty communicate these requirements to students through the course syllabus and/or verbally during the first or second class meeting.
