If you must miss a lecture for an athletic event or club event or other class event, you must tell your instructor at least 2 weeks in advance. If you must miss class for an extended period of time, please contact the Dean of Studies so that they can make proper arrangements with your instructors. The time and date of that make-up is solely the decision of the instructor. So, it is to your benefit to take regularly scheduled exams and preacticals. If you do have an absence of any kind, it is your responsibility to obtain notes or make-up lab work.
Attendance is monitored by either a sign-up sheet or roll call.
Make certain that you are included in that process. Please note that signing in another individual is not acceptable and is a clear violation of the Skidmore Honor Code. It is your responsibility to make it to class and lab on time. Extra credit questions are provided on most exams to help your score. Final point totals are never curved.
