An evaluation equivalent to a B is required for credit to be given for these alternative methods of assessment. Challenge Examinations A matriculated, full-time student who, by virtue of academic or professional background, can demonstrate mastery of certain courses without formal enrollment in such courses, may choose to challenge the course and obtain academic credit. A student may challenge up to 12 credits, but not challenge a course previously failed. A complete description of the process involved in proposing, fulfilling, and submitting a portfolio may be obtained in the office of the Associate Dean for Academic Advising. Class Attendance Students are expected to attend classes regularly and punctually.
Instructors are under no obligation to make special arrangements for students who are absent.
It is assumed that students understand that voluntary regular attendance of classes is necessary to fulfill course requirements and to maximize the opportunity for successful learning. Permission to make up missed quizzes, tests, examinations, laboratory assignments or studios may be given at the discretion of the instructor. With the approval of their Department Chair, faculty may stipulate their own absence or class attendance policy for some or all of their courses. Faculty who establish such a policy will publish it as part of the course syllabus and will distribute the syllabus at the beginning of the course. Each Student is assigned an Academic Advisor who must approve the student's program of study.
