The regular faculty teaches both day and evening classes, with few exceptions, and educational facilities are the same. Persons employed during the day may attend classes in the evening and study to obtain a degree or to expand their knowledge in a special field of interest as an adult non-degree student. Advanced standing examinations are intended only for those students who have had the equivalent, in formal or informal training, of work being presented in the course in question. Normally, departmental examinations will be given only if CLEP subject examinations are not available. To secure permission for such examinations, students must obtain the written permission of the department chair responsible for the course and the Vice President for Instruction.
Forms are available in the departmental offices.
A student who has officially enrolled in a class may not take an advanced standing examination in that course at a later date. Class Attendance Regular class attendance is important to the attainment of the educational objectives of the Institute. The instructor must keep attendance records and should formulate an attendance policy consistent with departmental policies. The instructor's policy is to be explained in detail to the class at the beginning of the semester. TASP rules require that students attend developmental courses or be withdrawn from school Instructor Initiated Drop When absences other than approved absences interfere seriously with the student's performance, the instructor may recommend to the department chair or Vice President for Instruction that the student be dropped from the class.
