事实证明，经常上课的学生比不经常上课的学生成绩更高。 教师负责制定出勤的具体政策和指导方针，这些必须在教学大纲中解释，以及所有其他课程要求。 学生有责任遵循这些要求和指导方针。 Students are responsible for making class sessions a priority, and for managing absences effectively by communicating with instructors and completing assignments following the course syllabus.
Failure to meet attendance or any other requirements may result in a reduced or failing grade for the course.
In the case of an extended absence, students should consult with the appropriate office (e.g. Dean of Students Office, Student Health Center, Counseling and Psychological Services, and/or the Disability Resource Center) and the instructor to determine whether an alternative plan for successful completion of the course is feasible. This may involve issuing an IN grade, creating an alternate assignment, or another solution that enables achievement of the learning outcomes and all assigned work. Reasonable request approval is at the discretion of the instructor on a case-by-case basis.
Students in laboratory or studio courses must follow lab or studio session attendance requirements as described in the syllabus. Any makeup of lab or studio materials is at the discretion of the course instructor, and all non-permitted absences must be cleared with the course instructor ahead of time.
Attendance requirements may only apply to specific course modalities, such as in person or synchronous online classes. Asynchronous classes often have an engagement policy in place of an attendance policy.
Students who register are considered enrolled in their courses regardless of attendance. Refunds will only be processed, according to deadlines published in each semester’s online Schedule of Courses, for registered students who have formally withdrawn from a course. Students not following this procedure will be charged for all courses in which they are registered. Lack of attendance does not constitute a basis for a refund or withdrawal from courses.
