Absences are recorded beginning from the first class session after thestudent has enrolled in the course. Professors are not obligated to allow students to make upwork they miss due to unexcused absences. Any student who does not attend at least 75% of thescheduled class sessions will receive a grade of “F” for the course, regardless of his performanceon other assessments such as tests, quizzes, papers, or projects. Professors may apply additionalattendance policies as appropriate to individual courses. Likewise, the college or school may alsoapply additional attendance requirements as necessary. Please see the catalog currently in use forthe university’s policy on classroom absences caused in the course of student representation ofthe university, such as athletics, chorale, and mock trial activities.
