To derive optimal educational benefits from their collegiate experience, students must attend classes regularly and take examinations on scheduled dates. In the event that students must miss examinations for valid and verifiable reasons, the students shall be given some fair and appropriate means of making up the examinations. The particular means and times for making up these examinations are left to the discretion of the instructor and shall be announced at the beginning of each enrollment period.
Students are responsible for all academic work missed during their absences, whatever the reasons.
Students shall keep their instructors informed about anticipated absences, especially when examinations are scheduled on these dates, and shall make prior arrangements with their instructors regarding assignments and examinations in conformity with the instructors' announced policies. In the event of emergency absences, students shall initiate such arrangements immediately. Students who miss final examinations for emergency reasons shall notify their instructors or their academic dean immediately.
