If you have a situation which has caused you to miss class, you should contact me as soon as possible. I will be glad to visit with you on an individual basis regarding your situation. If you believe you should not be charged with an absence, you must petition me, in writing, no later than two regular class days after your return. The petition should explain specifically why you were absent and why you think you should not be charged with an absence. The petition does not guarantee an excused absence.
Attendance is mandatory.
If you fail the final, you fail the course. Do not miss the final. The University provides a contact person for students with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, and other special needs. Instructional accommodations cannot be made until student needs have been documented with Dr. Snider and his office has notified faculty. Some of my office hours will be conducted in the Writing Center, Humanities 210.
