 Students
are required to attend all scheduled sessions of class, clinical
practice and special assignments. Each
student is expected to use their own judgment in determining
unsafe travel conditions.
- In the event of illness or other unforeseen events, the student is responsible to notify both:
- The school office (243-4471) at least one-half hour before scheduled assignment.
- The area of clinical assignment at least one half hour before scheduled assignment
Planned absences may be approved by the instructor prior to the date of requested absence. Students will be notified by the instructor if circumstances arise not covered by this policy.
- An attendance record is maintained and may be subject to review by any faculty member.
- Irregular attendance, excessive patterned absence, recurring
tardiness, unauthorized absence or failure to
follow policy regarding notification of absence to the school
are non-academic infractions subject to disciplinary action
by the Admissions and Evaluations Committee as identified
in the Policy for Non-Academic Infractions. Since
these infractions may result in failure to meet course objectives, course
failure may ensue. Patterned absence is defined
as absence occurring with some regularity on days when commitments
involve papers, quizzes, exams, special
assignments, and before or after scheduled days
off.
- The student is responsible for any assignments or materials presented during absence.
- On the first day back, the student must meet with the faculty member(s) to schedule make-up exams or other experiences.
- A grade of zero may be given to the student if he/she fails to make appropriate arrangements with the faculty member(s) or does not appear for a scheduled make-up exam.
- The faculty member is not obligated to provide make-up exams or other experiences to the student who does not follow the attendance policy. The matter is referred to the Admissions and Evaluations Committee for disciplinary review.
- In the event of prolonged student illness, the instructor may construct experiences to provide the student with the opportunity to meet course objectives. This is possible only if sufficient time is available within the semester. The Admissions and Evaluations Committee will be made aware of any special construct.
