ABSENCES Students are responsible for informing faculty in each of their classes of absences for any reason. Students involved in University sponsored activities such as trips, athletic events, fine arts events, etc., should communicate in advance with each faculty member to avoid possible problems in making up missed course work. Verification may be requested through the sponsoring group, however, students are responsible for any missed work. Students should be aware that some faculty have attendance policies in which missing class is not acceptable. The staff of Health Services does not have the authority to excuse students from class since faculty members establish their own attendance policies. If a physician quarantines a student, that information will be verified for faculty members. LONG TERM ABSENCES Students who will be absent from campus for extended length of time for reasons unrelated to University-sponsored events (hospitalization, family emergency, etc.) Should notify the Office of Student Development. An e-mail notice will be sent to the student’s faculty members. The notice is for information purposes only and is not an excuse or a request for excusing the absence. Students are still expected to contact their faculty members individually and arrange for missed work. Students who believe they will miss a considerable amount of class and question their ability to return successfully should consider withdrawing from their courses before the official withdrawal date (see academic calendar).
