Attendance and Participation

Regular attendance is expected for all didactic courses. 

Faculty may record attendance and incorporate participation into course grading if outlined in the syllabus. 

Students are responsible for all content, assignments, announcements, and learning activities whether present or absent. 

Attendance at all scheduled skills labs and simulation experiences is mandatory. 

Absences may result in required makeup assignments, additional lab hours, or remediation; availability of makeup experiences is not guaranteed. 

More than one unexcused absence in any lab/simulation course may result in course failure. 

All clinical hours required by the program and course syllabi must be completed. 

Absences jeopardize competency attainment and place patients at risk; therefore all clinical absences must be reported prior to the start of the shift to both faculty and the clinical agency. 

Clinical hours must be made up as scheduled by faculty; repeated absences may lead to dismissal from the clinical course. 

Tardiness may be treated as an absence at faculty discretion.
