Attendance
It
goes without saying that attendance is obligatory. Consistent
attendance guarantees
a
keen understanding of a
course and its materials. The opposite is also true; failing
consistently to attend a course
usually causes great consternation and often results in term
failure.
Absence for Religious Holidays
Religious
Holidays: Students
have
the right to practice the
religion of their choice. Each semester students should submit in
writing to
their
instructors by the end of the second
full week of classes their
documented religious holiday schedule for the semester. Faculty must
permit
students
who miss work for the purpose of religious
observance to make
up this
work.
