The faculty member is the judge of whether the student has met the stated attendance requirement for the course. The student alone assumes responsibility for all absences and for work missed for any reason. The responsibility for initiating the request to make up work is vested in the student. For unforeseen absences, the student should, immediately upon returning to the class, explain the reason for the absence to the professor. Whether the student is eligible to make up the missed work is at the discretion of the professor involved.
Faculty are under no obligation to make special arrangements for students who are absent.
Due to evening courses, however, some students have found that their final examination schedule consists of three consecutive exams, for example, this could be morning, afternoon, and evening exams on the same day, or an afternoon and evening exam on one day and a morning exam on the next day. A student with such a schedule may request permission from one of the professors to reschedule the exam at the convenience of the professor. If none of the three professors will reschedule, the student is urged to seek the assistance of his or her Faculty Advisor or the Registrar's Office. Travel plans are not an acceptable excuse to move an exam. Classes taken during the summer term carry regular credit hours and quality points.
