Attendance is essential for academic engagement and learning. The course syllabus outlines requirements for attendance, deadlines for submission of assignments, and the dates of exams. Missing class or the submission of required work can impact your grade, regardless of the circumstances. If you are absent due to an accident, medical, or private matter, you are encouraged to first notify the faculty member or teaching assistant (TA) at the time of the absence or immediately thereafter, as the situation allows.
If you are instructed to provide verification, the Office of the Dean of Students - Advocacy, Outreach& Support offers Absence and Verification Notices (AVNs) based on documentation.
