Students are expected to attend regularly all courses in which they are enrolled for credit and to complete all required work in such courses. Irregular attendance or any substantial number of unexcused absences may weigh adversely in the consideration of grades or any petition for a special academic privilege such as make-up examination.
All excuses for absences must be secured through the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. In addition, the student should inform each teacher as to the cause for absence.
Regular Monday, Wednesday, and Friday classes during the academic year are scheduled for 55 minutes with a15 minute break between classes. Regular Tuesday and Thursday, classes are scheduled for 85 minute periods and are separated by 15 minute intervals. Some classes meet for periods of time that vary from these patterns. These are designated in the published semester schedules. Punctuality in attending classes is expected of all students. Registration and payment of fees are required before classes are attended.
