9.2 Notification of Absences
For all academic courses, students must notify all course faculty as far in advance as possible if they are unable to attend class. In cases of an unplanned absence, students must contact course-associated faculty, including the fieldwork supervisor, before the scheduled class-time or fieldwork placement. Messages can be left for faculty using voice mail or e-mail and should indicate the length of and reasons for the absence. Absences are only acceptable for reasons such as emergencies, religious observance, illness, or attendance at a professional conference. Students are responsible for all material covered on days that are missed for personal reasons.
