Unexcused absences
Absences not falling into the first category are unexcused absences. The SOP realizes that special circumstances may arise on rare occasions leading to an unexcused absence. However, unexcused absences are neither a right nor an entitlement of the student. Unexcused absences may result in a loss of points in the course or failure in the course, as determined by the Instructor of Record / Course Coordinator. Each laboratory, assignment, or examination missed must be made up at the discretion and convenience of the Instructor of Record / Course Coordinator. If, in the judgment of the Senior Associate Dean, a pattern of absences appears to surface, action may be taken, up to and including reporting it to the Academic Progression and Professionalism Committee.
