It is very important that you attend classes on time. Continuous tardiness will result in penalties with your final grade. Penalties concerning tardiness are at the discretion of the instructor. In case of an emergency, call the instructor prior to class time or as soon as possible for arrangements regarding assignments. It is each student's responsibility to meet with instructors for makeup assignments. (Due to limited class sessions, it is imperative that you notify your instructors as soon as possible regarding scheduled vacations, job travel, etc. Notification should be made in writing regarding these dates.)
Any students who have missed (3) or more classes automatically fail the class. There is no exception to the rule. It is the responsibility of the student to notify their instructor, to let them know what happened. Valid excuses must be presented in writing upon return of class. A written note must be presented if the student has to be missing for class. The student must handle absences with each individual instructor; not the dean or staff, but the instructor for that particular class. The student should make arrangements with a class partner for notes and get assignment information.
