Attendance/Participation

It is expected that students will attend all instructional sessions, required activities, and field assignments.  The School of Education attendance policy supports the belief that attendance at all sessions is crucial to benefit from the learning experience.  Students who are absent from a session will have four (4) points deducted from their grade, including absences for minor illness, family commitments, conflicting work schedules, etc. Students who present documentation of required attendance at a school activity (Open House or Back to School Night) will not be penalized for their absence but must submit all missed assignments.  Missing a Sunday class will result in nine (9) points deducted from their grade (the department curriculum committee retains the discretion to make individual exceptions to this policy based upon extenuating circumstances).  Absences from any class session for any reason do not relieve the student from responsibility for the covered material or assignments. Students who arrive late to class or leave early may have one point deducted from their grade each time this occurs.  

Students who do not attend the first night of class AND do not notify the instructor in advance will be dropped from the course and charged a course drop fee.
