Attendance

6.1 Notification of Absences

All trainees are expected to attend all required classes. For all courses, trainees must notify course faculty in advance if they are unable to attend class. Messages can be left for faculty using voice mail or 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 observances, bereavement, or illnesses. 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.
