Excused absences . Absences incurred due to authorized representation of the College in extra-classroom activities or authorized participation in field trips or because of serious illness or personal emergency shall be excused absences.

The instructor may require verification from the person in charge of the field trip or the authorized activity or from a physician in cases of illness. If informed, the Dean of Student Life shall notify the faculty of excused absences due to hospitalization or personal emergency.
Instructors are responsible for setting their own policies regarding unexcused absences.

Make-up work . Faculty members are not obligated to give makeup exams or laboratory sessions for unexcused absences. Make-up exercises, if granted, shall not be penalized.
