Attendance in classes, laboratories and lectures is important. All students are expected to attend these activities in accordance with their schedule of courses. The attendance policy for each course is determined by the instructor and all instructors will provide the students, at the beginning of each semester or summer term, a clear statement regarding their policies in handling absences. Instructors will also be responsible for counseling their students regarding the academic consequences of absences.

Students must not be absent from announced quizzes, laboratory periods or final examinations unless the reasons for the absences are acceptable to the instructors concerned. Students should also understand that they are responsible for all material covered during their absences and that they are responsible for the academic consequences of the
absences.

Students who are absent because of their participation in university-approved activities such as field trips and extracurricular events will be permitted to make up the work missed during their absences.
