Students who are absent for reasons of illness, death in the family, inclement weather, religious observances, official university activities or for matters of personal conscience should inform each of their instructors, ideally with a written excuse, before the fact or as soon as possible thereafter. Except in cases where classroom experience can not be repeated, faculty may provide these students the opportunity to make up written work, tests or other assignments at the earliest possible convenient time. In any event, faculty are under no obligation to make special provisions for students absent for reasons other than those listed above. Faculty may establish additional attendance criteria which are consistent with the above paragraphs. Audit Policy Students who wish to attend classes in a particular course and not receive credit may do so by registering for the course as an auditor.
Auditors receive neither grade nor credit for any course.
Students are not permitted to audit private lessons for credit in the Department of Music, internships, student teaching, independent study, or other experiential courses, or courses with mandated academic prerequisites. Tuition for courses taken under the audit designation is established by the University's Board of Trustees. Withdrawal System Registration in a given Rowan University course implies the student's obligation to complete its requirements. Provisions for withdrawal are made for special cir cumstances. The notation of W, withdrawal, is not a grade.
