If you have documentation for legitimate cause for absence, you must provide your instructor with a copy to receive appropriate consideration. If you have a documented absence, you need to discuss this with the instructor. If an assignment is due at the beginning of class and is handed in later that same period, it is still considered late. Telephones, tape players, CD players, radios, beepers, babies, children, friends, and tobacco are inappropriate in a college classroom. Do not bring them.
Tardiness is rude.
If you must be late for class, due to unforeseen circumstances, enter the classroom quietly so as not to disrupt the class. At the end of class, be sure to remind the instructor that you were late instead of absent and provide your reason for tardiness. Cheating is lying, stealing, and dirty dealing. Cheating is grounds for dismissal from the University, and it simply will not be tolerated. Class participation is required.
