Make-Up Form |
|
For court, car and other types of inevitable encounters, please provide some type of official, dated documentation such as a court receipt, a mechanics receipt, etc. Leaving early or coming back late from Break or the weekend, etc. is not excused. If you come in after role is taken or if you leave early, you are counted absent. If you have family or personal issues that keep you from class, or some type of issue that you cannot get documentation on, then you may see Elizabeth Steele in the Advising, Retention and Assessment Office. At her discretion, she will provide an excuse. Ms. Steele and the Advising, Retention and Assessment Office are located in 235 Smiddy, phone 328-0313. College Policy: (The UVW Catalogue) “Each student is expected to attend promptly all the classes and laboratories for which she or he is registered. Excessive absences may result in disciplinary action by the Dean of the Faculty [ Dr. Amelia Harris]. A student who is absent because of serious illness or death in his or her immediate family or for any officially authorized reason may be excused by the Associate Provost for Educational Support Services. Professors have an obligation to allow students to make up work missed because of absences which are officially excused by the Associate Provost. A student who attends fewer than 50% of the lectures or laboratories in a course is not eligible for credit for that course. Individual instructors may establish more stringent attendance policies.” |
Made-up material such as term-papers, etc., must be done within a week of returning to class. To make-up or turn-in late material, you must fill out a Make-Up Form, attaching the excuse from the Provost, Advising, Retention & Assessment Office, Doctor, court, mechanic, etc. (see the Make-up Form Link in the main syllabus) (see the Late Policy Link in the main syllabus). Missed exams, quizzes etc. may be made up with the next exam. You must present a make-up form to the professor, prior to taking the make-up in order to schedule it.. All unexcused tests, etc., are docked 8 percentage points. |
