Class Attendance You are expected to attend all exercises of the courses in which you are registered and to be on time. Any absence, regardless of the reason, will prevent you from getting the full benefit of the course. Instructors may include class attendance as a measure of academic performance, and inexcusable absences may render you liable to censure. You must comply with the absence regulations of the college or school in which the course is offered. An instructor's syllabus should give particular directions regarding class attendance. If you miss an exam or a deadline for an excusable reason, you should contact your instructor as soon as possible. (If you are absent from class for a week or more for an excusable reason, such as a major illness, you should inform the college in which you are enrolled.) Absence Due to University-Sanctioned Activity This policy represents university standards; each college may have additional requirements for students enrolled in their courses.
