Attendance


In accordance with Rutgers University regulations, attendance is expected at all regularly scheduled meetings of a course and individual courses may set policies for maximum absences. Absences due to religious observance, participation in university-sponsored events or activities such as intercollegiate athletics, or documented chronic illness are treated as authenticated absences. Authenticated absences do not waive the overall policy for attendance. Students who must, for any reason, miss more than an occasional class should consult with their instructors and an academic adviser.

Students missing an occasional class for unverifiable illness or personal circumstances do not require written documentation or verification. In these circumstances, it is the responsibility of the student to submit the absence through the Rutgers Self-Reporting Absence Website, which automatically generates email notification to faculty teaching the student. Reporting an absence does not automatically "excuse" missed work. It notifies instructors, a courtesy that provides an opportunity for students to contact their instructors about missed work. In addition to reporting an absence through the online system, students are encouraged to contact their instructors directly. It is up to the instructor to determine if accommodations are warranted to allow students to make up work that counts toward their semester grade.
