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.




MAKE-UP POLICY
It is the student’s responsibility to initiate any assignments (Lab and Test) missed during
         regular class period

       provide appropriate documentation verifying the disability.
