Students are expected to attend classes regularly. If absences occur, it is the student's responsibility to make up the work missed. Permission to make up assignments may be granted at the discretion of the instructor. As a matter of courtesy, when students find it necessary to be absent from class, they should inform the instructor, in advance if possible.
It is the responsibility of the instructor to set forth in writing at the beginning of a course any special conditions regarding absences in the course. In many classes participation in class constitutes a substantial part of the work of the course, in which case excessive absence will lower the student's grade. When a student's progress is seriously impeded by excessive absence from class or by other difficulties, the instructor may refer the student to the Dean.
Students who frequently fail to attend classes or miss enough classes to preclude successful completion of any academic course for the term may be removed from class with a grade of WF (withdrawal failing) by the Office of the Dean. Such action will be taken only after students have had an opportunity to discuss their situation with the Seminary Dean.
