COLLEGE ATTENDANCE POLICY: Consistent and prompt attendance develops responsible professional behavior and insures that students have access to the full range of experiences and information necessary to complete class assignments and acquire skills and knowledge emphasized in a university education.

Consistent with college practice, students are expected to attend all sessions of courses for which they are registered. Each instructor determines when a student’s absences have reached a point at which they jeopardize success in a course. Only three unexcused absences will be allowed. The fourth unexcused absence will lower your final semester grade by one letter grade. The fifth unexcused absence will lower your final grade by two letter grades, sixth by three letter grades and you will fail on the seventh. If you leave class without being excused and do not return you will be counted absent as well.

Students would be informed that the allotted absences [3] are to accommodate routine illness and crisis. And so, weddings, car trouble, etc. Doctor appointments, advisor conferences, trips to supply store and labs, employment, etc., should not be scheduled to conflict with class. Faculty cannot be placed in the position of determining which absences are excusable and which are not. All students are expected to attend class on a regular basis. Prolonged illness should be verified by a physician and may require the student to withdraw from class if he/she cannot complete work in a comprehensive and timely manner.

Tardiness is defined as being fifteen minutes late for class or departing before class has been formally dismissed by the professor [if you are late, it is your responsibility after the class period to make sure the professor has you added to the roll.] Four tardies are counted as one absence. [note: tardiness that exceed forty five minutes will be counted as an absence]

Students are not penalized if they are unable to attend classes or participate in exams on particular days because of religious beliefs. Students who plan to be absent from classroom activity for religious reasons should discuss the absence in advance with their instructors.

10% Participation in Class/Critiques (Attendance)

ARTICIPATION IN CRITIQUES: Lack of participation will impact your final grade. Class participation will be emphasized. It is expected that all students will actively participate in critiques, class discussions and work with peers to provide constructive feedback, this will provide a positive studio experience. If your project is not finished, it is better you show up so you do not lose an absence. Although you will be given a zero for the project.

Students who do not participate in class critiques or individual discussions with faculty when scheduled to do so should not expect private critiques with faculty at a later date.
