Ooss Attendance Policy
As a result of the large number of students on academic
probation and suspension lists, a great deal of concern was
aroused within the Senate regarding the academic welfare of the
students. Consequently, the Senate felt it extremely necessary to
implement a class attendance policy, even though they realized
this would not solve all of the academic ills suffered by students.
This class attendance policy which is being implemented
during the current semester states:
“The University is committed to the principle that regular and
punctual class attendance is generally essential to the student’s
optimum scholastic achievements. It is hoped that students will
realize that participation in a class setting can be a valuable
expereince academically and otherwise; hence, the worth of his
experience cannot be measured solely by test papers, research
papers, and projects. Therefore, students are expected to attend
all classes regularly and to keep appointments when they are
scheduled. It is the responsibility of the student to keep himself
informed of the requirements of the instructor, to take all
examinations at the time prescribed by the instructor, and to
turn in all assignments when they are due. An absence, excused
or unexcused, does not relieve the student of any course
requirement.
A student may not be absent from a class for any cause,
excused or unexcused, more than 25 percent of the clock hours the
class would normally meet during a semester. When a student
has been absent from a class 20 percent of the clock hours the
class would normally meet during any given semester, he wiU
receive a letter of warning. When a student has been absent from
a class 25 percent of the clock hours the class would normally
meet during a semester, he will receive a letter stating that he
has been dropped from the course with a grade of “DP” or “DE”.
Both letters will be forwarded from the Office of the Vice
Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
The grade assigned, “DP” or “DE” will be determined by the
teacher and the department chairman with the approval of the
division head.”
