Class Absence Notification

The Office of the Dean of Students provides Class Absence Notifications for students with documented emergent situations and extenuating circumstances. Formal documentation/verification must be submitted by the student.

Notification of a class absence does not excuse students from classes and/or course requirements. It is a means through which information can be shared regarding emergent and extenuating circumstances. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructors and determine a mutually agreed upon arrangement for missed work. The ultimate decision regarding absences and the resulting influence those absences have on grades or course progression is at the discretion of the instructor in consideration of policies outlined via course syllabi.

Incompletes

A grade report of an "I" (incomplete) may be given if a student has completed the majority of the work in a class but sickness or some other unavoidable cause has prevented the student from completing course work. It is the decision of the faculty member to allow an incomplete. 

To request an incomplete, the student must directly contact their faculty member. The student is responsible for checking with the instructor in regards to deadlines for completing the work required for the course. The Incomplete must be completed within one semester however, the instructor may choose to set another deadline, which may be less than one semester. After one semester (or the deadline set by the instructor), the Incomplete will be changed to a grade of "F" if the course work has not been completed. 
Note: A student cannot graduate with an "I" on their record.
