Academic Policies

Attendance

Students are expected to attend all class sessions of each course taken. When a student cannot attend a class, he/she is expected to:

Contact the instructor prior to the absence to explain the reason for the absence.

Make provisions to obtain class notes and any other information that was missed.

Any student missing three classes may have his/her grade lowered. A student missing four or more classes will be given an incomplete grade of "I" and that part of the course must be retaken. Emergency situations such as illness or a death in the family will always be taken into consideration by the instructor. Students taking summer classes or seminars may have more stringent policies, as stated by the instructor.

A graduate student who holds a full-time position of employment may register for no more than two (2) courses and six (6) semester hours for each of the terms.
