Nicholson Library does not charge for its Interlibrary Loan services, but lending libraries sometimes assess costs which are passed on to the borrower. Please allow sufficient time for placement of the request and for receipt of the materials. This can take seven to 14 days. Request forms are available from the Interlibrary Loan Office. The AU faculty adopted the class attendance policy with this rationale in mind.
Any absence results in a loss of learning for the student.
Students may be directly penalized only after the number of absences exceeds the number of class meeting hours per week. When a student misses more than the number of classes stated above, the course instructor determines whether to allow completion of missed work and how much work will be evaluated, including possible penalties. This policy recognizes that the loss of participatory learning and class involvement due to class absences by students will differ depending on the particular course and instructor. Policies adopted by instructors for specific classes should be clearly documented in the course syllabus and reviewed with students at the beginning of the semester. Students entering teacher education, social work or nursing must also file applications for admission with those departments.
