Absence from Class for School Sanctioned Activities
Students who are absent from class due to participation in an officially sanctioned school activity must present notice of the event to the instructor (at least one week prior is desirable) and request advance assignments. If the student is passing the course, the request for make-up will be honored. If missing the class will endanger the student's academic success, the instructor will notify the activity sponsor; the sponsor and the instructor will determine a decision regarding the student’s participation in the activity. In general, the decision will reflect the philosophy that students attend college for educational purposes, and participation in activities outside the classroom is recognized as a lower priority.

The student will have one day to make-up work with the lowing of one letter grade. Failure to make-up any work will result in a zero (F) being recorded for the grade. The student who has an excused absence will be granted two days to make-up work without having their grade lowered. (Make-up work will be at the discretion of the instructor.)
