Classroom Expectations

It is the student's responsibility to communicate with the faculty member concerning any absence as specified by the respective course syllabus. Whenever possible, students should notify their instructor in advance.

The student may be required to present evidence to support an absence and make-up work for class absences will be permitted only as specified by the faculty in the course syllabus.

A syllabus is a document that an instructor distributes to provide students with an overview of a college course. The syllabus is usually distributed on the first day of class and contains the following
information:

  • Course name and meeting times
  • Name of instructor and their contact information
  • Expectations for behavior
  • Attendance policies
  • Required texts and topics and chapters covered
  • Test dates and other relevant dates
