ABSENCE REGULATIONS
1. Students are, in general, allowed to exercise a personal discretion in regulating their attendance at classes. This discretion involves a consideration on the part of the student of the effect of his absence from the classroom not only upon his own work
62
but also upon the group as a whole. Furthermore whenever a student cuts a class he should realize that he has no right to ask the assistance of the instructor in making up the work which he has thus missed.
2. Absence from University exercises 2 days be- fore or after a vacation is regarded as interfering with the collective interests of the University. Such absences will cause either an hour's reduction in credit or a lowering of a grade by one letter, the exact penalty to be applied at the discretion of the Absence Committee. Excuses before or after the vacations may be granted only by the personnel deans.
3. Instructors are expected to inVestigate causes for absences, and should promptly report to the Dean of Men or the Dean of Women those who are absent three or more times consecutively. This is especially important in the case of stUdents enrolled under the G.I. Bill of Rights. The University is reo quired to report to the Veterans Administration those who are absent five times consecutively.
4. Instructors are expected to keep records of absences on the class cards, and to be ready to make reports of all absences to the administration if re- quested. This is also necessary to enable the faculty to determine the success or failure of the new ab- sence regulations during the trial period.
5. No excuses for any reason will be granted tor absences from Assembly. Three absences from As- sembly per semester are allowed.
6. Three unexcused absences will be permitted each semester in Physical Education. Unexcused abo sences beyond the three permitted. up to and in·
63
cluding six in number, may be made up during the last week in the semester. Students with unexcused absences beyond three and up to and including twelve, which are not made up during make-up weel(
will automatically receive an incomplete. The in:
complete may be removed the following semester by making up two hours for each absence. Students with more than twelve absences, excused or un- excused, will receive a grade of F for the semester.
