Excused Absence.The following are defined as
excused absences: (1) Illness of
student or serious illness of a member of the student's immediately family. Appropriate
verification may be requested by the instructor; (2) Death of a member of the student's
immediately family. Appropriate verification may be requested by the instructor; (3) Trips for
members of student organizations sponsored by an academic unit, trips for University classes,
and trips for participation in intercollegiate athletic events. When feasible, the student must
notify the instructor prior to the occurrence of such absences, but in no case shall such
notification occur more than one week after the absence. The instructor may request formal
notification from appropriate university personnel to document the student's participation in
such trips; (4) Major Religious Holidays. Students are responsible for notifying the instructor
in writing of their absences due to their observance of such holidays no
later than the last day for adding a class. Students missing work due to an excused
absence bear the responsibility of informing the instructor about their excused absence
within one week following the period of the excused absence, except where prior
notification is required, and of making up the missed work. If feasible, the student will be
given the opportunity to make up the work during the semester in which the absence occurred.
Students will be given the opportunity to make up exams missed due to an excused absence
during the semester in which the absence occurred. In general, students will have two
(2) weeks after their return to class to make up any work missed during an excused
absence. A grade of zero (0) will be given for any work not made up within two (2)
weeks of your return to class. Therefore, the burden is on you to make arrangements
with the instructor to make up all work missed within two (2) weeks of your return to
class.
