4.2 Notification of Absences
For all academic courses, students must notify course faculty in advance if they are unable to attend class. Messages should be left for faculty using e-mail. Messages should indicate the length of and reasons for the absence. Excused absences will be given for acceptable reasons, such as emergencies, religious observance or illness. Social events, vacations, and job interviews are not acceptable reasons for absence from class or practicum. The academic calendar is published well in advance to allow for planning these events.
