Students are expected to make up all work missed due to absences. A penalty may be assessed for work not made up at the discretion of the instructor for the class missed. In no case shall the maximum penalty for each occurrence of work not made up result in more than a letter grade reduction for the course. Each instructor will be responsible for explaining the attendance policy to students at the beginning of the semester. It is the students’ responsibility to keep up with their number of absences.
