Responsibility for class attendance rests with the student. Regular and punctual attendance of all scheduled classes is expected. Instructors report non-attendance following the census date of each term in accordance with federal regulations. Students reported as not attending classes may be responsible for returning financial aid disbursed to them for any class(es) the student is not attending. Instructors awarding failing grades are required to report the last day a student attended class. Instructors may also request a student be dropped for excessive absences from class, in which case the student will receive a grade of DP and may be required to return financial aid disbursed.
Participation is critical to a student’s success in online and hybrid Classes. When an online or hybrid class student does not participate in consecutive online activities or does not submit consecutive assignments AND has not communicated with the instructor about the student’s participation, the instructor may drop the student from the class using the Faculty Initiated Student Withdrawal process. Each instructor determines the specific number of consecutive activities or assignments that will initiate the withdrawal, according to the requirements of the particular online or hybrid class.
University Authorized Absences
- University regulations authorize certain absences of students when representing the University (e.g. participation in intercollegiate athletic competitions, and student government, student development, or fine arts events).
- Absences that may be necessary to fulfill course requirements and are approved by the Provost are also considered to be authorized. Individual faculty may not enforce a more restrictive policy than what is set by the University.
- Students are required to notify instructors prior to any missed class and will be held responsible for all class and laboratory assignments.
Academic Progression/Progress
A student may be dropped from the University if their instructors and the dean of the school determine the student is not achieving passing grades in academic course work or for other sufficient causes, including but not limited to poor class attendance, lack of progress toward their degree, failing to meet program or University ethical, integrity, or other standards.
Other
Students forwarded to the Office of Student Records for withdrawal as a result of academic or other misconduct will be withdrawn as specified by the Student Code of Conduct, University Judicial Board, and/or Provost.
