3.68 Class Attendance Policy

Research confirms that class attendance is an essential part of the educational experience and a requirement for an adequate evaluation of academic progress. Students are expected to attend all lectures, seminars, laboratories, and field work for each registered class and to complete all work assigned by the instructor.

Due to the relationship between class attendance and final course grades, total absences ideally should not exceed twice the number of times a class meets per week. Examples:

Courses meeting three (3) times/week: maximum of six (6) absences acceptable

Courses meeting one (1) time/week: maximum of two (2) absences acceptable

The maximum acceptable number of absences in other class formats, i.e., eight (8)-week, four (4)-week summer session, and intersession, should be pro-rated according to the formula above.

If a student exceeds the maximum number of acceptable absences for a course, the course instructor may choose to lower the student’s grade by one letter, provided this policy is clearly stated in the syllabus at the beginning of the course.

In addition, course instructors will determine the following and will post it in all syllabi:

  1. Consequences for coming late and leaving class early;
  2. Make-up policies for course work, quizzes, and exams.
