Attendance at all regularly scheduled meetings of a course is expected. A student is permitted to make up any regular part of a course, including required exercises and final examinations, when the reasons for absences are authenticated by the associate dean of student affairs. The recognized grounds for absences are illness requiring medical attention, curricular or extracurricular activities approved by the faculty, personal obligations claimed by the student and recognized as valid, recognized religious holidays, and severe inclement weather causing dangerous traveling conditions.
The president of the university or an official appointed by the president is authorized to cancel classes at the university, or any part thereof, in the event that weather conditions so dictate.
