Medical Absences and Classroom Attendance
Regular class attendance is a student’s obligation. A student is responsible for all the work, including tests and written work for all class meetings. The student must notify the instructor and Disability Services Counselor of absences. No right or privilege exists that permits a student to be absent from any given number of class meetings. Absences from class for valid reasons (including disability related medical situations) are excused only by the instructor.
The Disability Services counselor will work closely with the student. If deemed appropriate, the DS counselor will request medical documentation about a student’s specific medical situation. Then, Disability Services can verify the fact that the student is absent because of a legitimate medical problem.
