Policy reminders

We wanted to share a few policy reminders as we near the start of the term.

Mandatory attendance

The Mandatory Attendance policy requires students to attend the first class meetings for all classes in which they are enrolled unless they have prior absence approval from their instructor. The policy FAQ can be consulted for more details on how this policy applies to online classes or when students register after the first day of classes. 

Excused absences and makeup work

Reasonable accommodations must be made for students who miss class due to excused circumstances, including:

• Illness, especially for in-person or blended classes
• Religious holiday observance
• Pre-approved first-day absence
• Late registration

Refer to the Excused Absences and Makeup Work policy and the Makeup Work FAQ for more information.

Scheduled class times

Instructors are expected to observe scheduled class times as stated in the Teaching and Learning policy. 

Student conduct

We recommend reviewing the Student Conduct Code. The University has established expectations for students that seek to protect the learning environment and build student success.
