Attendance Policy

Students are expected to attend all scheduled class sessions and are required to arrive on time. Absence may be excused for childbirth, documented illness, injury, death in the family, or other emergency situations acceptable to the Academic Standards Committee. Students should call the Registrar or a Dean as soon as possible on the first day of absence and give an estimate of the duration of the absence. Failure to give prompt notice is considered a breach of professional etiquette. Special arrangements may be made to make up missed classes.

Absences

All work missed due to absence or lateness must be made up to the satisfaction of the instructor in order to receive credit for the course. Instructors may arrange for make-up examinations in cases of excused absence. Instructors are not required to provide make-up examinations missed due to unexcused absence or lateness and may assign a failing grade for that examination.

Excessive Absences

Excessive absence is defined as an excess of 20% of scheduled classroom hours in didactic course or absence in excess of 10% of scheduled clinic training hours. Instructors will report excessive absences to the Registrar. The student may be asked to appear before the Academic Standards Committee. Failure to appear at the meeting may result in a failing grade and may also result in suspension or dismissal. If excessive absences are classified as excused, the Committee may recommend to the instructor that make- up work be arranged, or that the student be suspended from the class without a penalty grade assigned.

Tuition

Tuition for a class must be paid before course work begins, unless the student opts for Financing Plan described in Financial Information section.
