The presence of a student's name indicates that the student has registered for the course and is authorized to be in the classroom. Official class lists are distributed to all departments after the second week of classes. A student who is present but whose name does not appear on the list should be referred immediately to their Dean's Office for clarification of status. The Office of Student Records will provide electronic class lists upon request. Every student is to accept the responsibility for satisfactory attendance in courses.
Satisfactory attendance is determined in each course by the instructor.
The instructor will put the attendance policy in the syllabus and inform the students during the first week of classes of the attendance requirements. Students engaged in authorized off-campus university functions, e.g., varsity athletics, band or drama should notify the instructor at the beginning of the semester and make appropriate arrangements. The policy on late work is the responsibility of the instructor. Students of the University are expected to be honest and forthright in their academic endeavors. To falsify the result of one s research, to steal the words or ideas of another, or to cheat on an examination corrupts the essential process by which knowledge is advanced.
