As clearly stated in the syllabus and in compliance with the University Missed Class Policy (part of which is copied below), after 3 unexcused absences, your final grade will be reduced a fractional letter grade for each additional absence. A surprisingly large number of students have missed more than 3 classes. If you miss a total of 7 'unexcused' classes, you will automatically receive a failing grade. Please review the missed class policy so that you fully understand what qualifies as an 'excused' absence.
Students are expected to attend every class meeting of courses in which they are registered. Only in specific, unavoidable situations does the University excuse absences from class: 1) personal emergencies, including, but not limited to, illness of the student or of a dependent of the student [as defined by the Board of Trustees’ Policy on Family and Medical Leave], or death in the family; 2) religious observances that prevent the student from attending class; 3) participation in University-sponsored activities, approved by the appropriate University authority, such as intercollegiate athletic competitions, activities approved by academic units, including artistic performances, R.O.T.C. functions, academic field trips, and special events connected with coursework; 4) government-required activities, such as military assignments, jury duty, or court appearances; and 5) any other absence that the professor approves.
