Students are responsible for all required work, whether that be individual or interactive, in each of their courses. Instructors determine the attendance policy for their courses as described in the course syllabus. Students assume full responsibility for class attendance and for work missed because of absence. Students should communicate with their instructors in a timely fashion about any absences and the possibility of completing missing work.

Students are expected to participate in a course in accordance with the course’s method of instruction (e.g., face-to-face, online, or hybrid) and as detailed in the course syllabus. 

Some programs and courses may specify additional course attendance requirements; these requirements will be stated within the program’s catalog page, handbook, and/or in individual course syllabi.
