Students are expected to log into class regularly and remain in contact with their faculty member should something come up that will prevent your attendance in class. In general, students cannot anticipate taking a week or more out of class without having a negative impact in their grades for assignments. Student Success Advising cannot approve an absence from class or a request for late work to be graded. Only your instructor can advise on the possibility of late work being graded and may require a valid reason for the absence, including documentation, before approving the request.

For those utilizing U.S. Federal Financial Aid, non-attendance for 14 days during the course makes them at risk of having their aid returned to their lender, even if they have informed their professor of their upcoming absence from the course. Please contact Financial Aid directly regarding any concerns about your attendance’s impact to your aid.
