A learning community is built through trust and participation.  Consequently, your participation is desired and required.  Attendance is taken at every class session and at required events. Three unexcused absences ARE ALLOWED! The fourth unexcused absence will result in failure for the course.  Your instructor is always interested in knowing ahead of time when absences will occur.  Excused absences are:

1) A medical problem that is documented by a doctor (have her/him write a short note explaining your absence), or,

2) A family emergency that is documented by the Dean of Students Office, or

3) A college-sanctioned event (defined as a class trip authorized by an academic department or sports activity authorized by the Physical Education department).  The college-sanctioned event absence must be cleared with the instructor at least one class session prior to the absence. All work must be turned in before the student is absent.

Please be advised that you may not drop this course.
