Absences

You are expected to attend class regularly. University policy permits an instructor to establish an attendance policy for each class. Ordinarily, instructors distribute such information in printed form at the first class session of the semester. If you are unable to attend the first session, you should seek information concerning the policy on absences as soon as possible.

Excuse Due to Illness: Students are advised to report pertinent medical facts to the Health Center, (507) 537-7202, so that instructors can be notified in cases of prolonged illness. We do not contact instructors for short-term illnesses; it is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructors for assignments. Should a student find it necessary to withdraw from classes for medical reasons and are unable to withdraw in person, they should call the Registration Office at (507) 537-6206 for further details and implementation of the withdrawal.
