Attendance

All students are expected to attend all the class and laboratory sessions of every course in which they are registered. They may not absent themselves except for illness or some other serious matter. In any semester, absences equal to twice the number of weekly contact hours of a given class are deemed excessive. Credit may be jeopardized by absences that have exceeded the allotted number, unless the instructor and School Dean of the respective school deem that circumstances warrant an exception. Students who never attend classes will be administratively withdrawn from courses but students should be aware that such action can affect financial aid eligibility in current and/or future semesters.

Students are also expected to meet their usual class responsibilities set by the University calendar for the beginning of a vacation period. They may not extend their vacation beyond the date assigned for return to University without the approval of the School Dean in the area of concentration.
