Absence due to illness:
For tests, notice should be given to, and permission obtained from the instructor of the course. In case of illness, the instructor may require an absence slip signed by a physician. For examinations, to receive such an exemption, in case of illness the student must give the
Dean of Students an absence slip signed by a physician; in other extenuating circumstances, the student must notify and obtain the approval of the Dean of Students, who shall confer with the Chair of the Academic Standards Committee. The Dean of Students will notify the instructor and arrange for an alternate writing time as required.
Absence due to university sanctioned activities:
Students who miss a quiz or a test, of any type, as a result of their direct participation in one of the following university- sanctioned events-varsity game, choir concert performance, mainstage theatre production, class trips, Student Life sponsored mission trip-will be allowed to write the make-up quiz or test at a time determined by the instructor, in consultation with the student. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the instructor, at least two days before the day of the quiz or test, or else the opportunity to write a make-up quiz or test is forfeited. Students may not miss a final exam as a result of these events. This policy does not apply to essays, lab reports, or other assignments, for which due dates were established at the beginning of the course. This policy does not apply to practices (for athletic, music, or theatre events), club sports or intramurals.
