For class absence due to personal illnesses, it is the student s responsibility to notify the instructor. For deaths in the family and similar emergencies, students should notify the Student Life office. Student absences due to participation in field trips and intercollegiate athletics and the dates and times associated with the event are verified by the sponsoring faculty member or coach and listed in the Intercom . In order to meet liability requirements for off-campus trips, each student must complete a liability release form prior to leaving campus. It is the prerogative of the individual instructor to decide whether students who miss a class examination are granted make-up privileges.
Any arrangements are to be made between the student and the instructor.
A credit unit is a semester hour consisting of 50 minutes of lecture, or two to three such periods of laboratory work per week, throughout a semester. Credits transferred from other institutions do not carry quality points, and are therefore not computed in the grade point average. The cutoff for pass is C . Semester hours in which the student receives a P count toward graduation, but not toward the grade point average. The grade of F is a failing grade and is included in the computation of both the semester and cumulative grade point average.
