Named one of “America’s Best Colleges” by U.S News & World Report

for excessive absence; and students who miss class also miss information and classroom
interactions that lead to understanding of the course material.
Students are therefore responsible for the following:
1. Attending every meeting of every class. Students not in class are
considered absent. Students who do not meet the attendance
requirements in a given class may not be able to complete that class
successfully;
2. Knowing and following the attendance policy of each class in which
they enroll;
3. Knowing there are no automatically ―excused‖ absences to attend
athletic events, field trips or any other reason. Students who face a
conflict between class attendance and other needs (for example, illness,
serious family crisis) must notify their faculty in advance. When advance
notice is impossible, faculty must be contacted as soon as possible.
There is no situation where the failure to contact professors is
excusable. No one except the faculty member in charge of a class may
excuse an absence; and
4. Scheduling appointments and other responsibilities so they do not
conflict with classes.
Excessive absence from class may be reported to the SOAR Committee, student‘s
adviser and/or the Office of Academic Affairs.
