In the case of an emergency departure from the campus for which withdrawal forms have not been executed, the Registrar s Office may verify that the student has left campus as a result of an emergency and notify instructors. Instructors may elect to assign a W in such a case even if it occurs after midsemester or midsession. Class Attendance Regular attendance at class sessions, laboratories, examinations, and official University convocations is an obligation which all students are expected to fulfill. Faculty members set attendance policies in their course syllabi. These mid-semester reports are not part of the student s permanent record.
Faculty members submit letter grades at the end of each semester.
These grades become part of the student s official record. Once entered, a grade may not be changed except by means of an officially executed Change of Grade form. If a student is unable to complete the work for a course on time for reasons of health, family tragedy, or other circumstances the instructor deems appropriate, the grade I may be assigned. In such cases, the instructor and student shall draw up a contract indicating specifically the work the student must complete as well as a date by which the work will be submitted, and the grade which will be given if the student fails to complete that work. After the student has read and signed the contract, it shall be filed with the Registrar at the time the class roll with grades is submitted.
