Absence from Class for School Sanctioned Activities
Students who are absent from class due to participation in an officially sanctioned school activity must present notice of the event to the instructor (at least one week prior is desirable) and request advance assignments. If the student is passing the course, the request for make-up will be honored. If missing the class will endanger the student's academic success, the instructor will notify the activity sponsor; the sponsor and the instructor will determine a decision regarding the student’s participation in the activity. In general, the decision will reflect the philosophy that students attend college for educational purposes, and participation in activities outside the classroom is recognized as a lower priority.
