Attendance Requirements: WBU External Campus Attendance Policy: Students enrolled at one of the university s external campuses should make every effort to attend all class meetings. All absences must be explained to the instructor, who will then determine whether the omitted work may be made up. When a student reaches that number of absences considered by the instructor to be excessive, the instructor will so advise the student and file an unsatisfactory progress report with the external campus executive director/dean. Any student who misses 25 percent or more of the regularly scheduled class meetings may receive a grade of F in the course. Additional attendance policies for each course, as defined by the instructor in the course syllabus, are considered a part of the university s attendance policy. A student may petition the Academic Council for exceptions to the above stated policies by filing a written request for an appeal to the executive vice president/provost. WBU Hawaii Campus Attendance Additional Policy: Students who miss the first two class meetings without first providing a detailed written explanation to the instructor will be automatically dropped from the roster as a "no-show." Students who know in advance that they will be absent the first two class meetings and who wish to remain in the class must inform the instructor to discuss possible arrangements for making up absences, which will only be allowed with supporting military or medical documentation. Instructor s Additional Policy: Attendance is critical to your ability to succeed in this class. As mentioned above, any absence must be explained in writing and in advance whenever possible. I will then determine whether the missed work may be made up. Any absence for health reasons or because of military duty will require a signed noted from your doctor or military supervisor. Arriving more than ten minutes late or departing class more than ten minutes early may be considered an absence. It is ultimately your responsibility as a student to obtain lectures notes and related materials from your classmates for those classes that you were absent. Attendance is very important to your success in this class. Students are expected to attend class and participate in class discussions. In the event of a missed assignment or activity, it is the student s responsibility to contact the instructor. Students must communicate with instructor regarding any planned absences. Instructor may permit student to make up work, quizzes, etc. for excused absences cleared with instructor in advance. Participation in online portions counts as an equal part of the attendance component. Missing online assignments is the same as missing face-to-face classes. All Wayland students are expected to attend every class meeting; the minimum percentage of class participation required to avoid receiving a grade of F in the class is 75%. Students who miss the first two class meetings without providing a written explanation to the instructor will be automatically dropped from the roster as a no-show. Students who know in advance that they will be absent the first two class meetings and who wish to remain in the class must inform the instructor in order to discuss possible arrangements for making up absences. 14.
