12.1. Attendance Requirements

Students must attend all classes and laboratories and are expected to arrive on time. Because of the interactive and collaborative nature of professional education and team- based learning, combined with the rigor of this academic program, class attendance is essential for successful learning. Faculty expects continuous participation to maintain the proper flow of course material. In addition, as a model of professional practice, consistent attendance and punctuality is considered part of one’s professional commitment and will be evaluated as such in the student’s professional development assessment.
