When may absences affect academic credit?
Significant lack of attendance in a course of study might reasonably be expected to negatively affect academic performance and, ultimately, a student's grade in that course. Grade reduction may result from absences in the following situations:
- Failure of the student to attend make-up sessions as assigned for the completion of make-up work.
- Failure to complete make-up assignments satisfactorily within a reasonable time.
- If points or percentages for attendance and/or participation are given, the denial of those points or percentages for absenteeism is a reasonable practice.
