Catalog 2016-2017

Class Attendance

Students should regularly attend all classes for which they are enrolled. Absences will typically be excused for observance of religious holidays, documented cases of illness or emergency, sanctioned school functions, or other appropriate exigent circumstances. Students must notify instructors of their circumstances in a timely manner.

A course instructor can drop from the roster any student who fails to attend the following number of class meetings before the deadline to add a course:

  • Two classes in a course meeting on a twice weekly schedule
    OR
  • Three classes in a course meeting three or more times per week

At their professional discretion, course instructors may, by notifying the Registrar prior to the deadline for withdrawing from a course, remove from their courses any student whose unexcused absences over any three week period reach or exceed 50%. Instructors are not obliged to notify the student prior to taking this action. A student removed from a course under these circumstances will be notified by the Office of the Registrar through the student’s Hendrix email account. A student may appeal this action by contacting the Registrar within three business days of the drop notice date. The Registrar will forward the appeal to the Academic Appeals Committee for review and action.
