General Departmental Policies
1.02 Music Program Class Attendance Policy
March 8, 2005
The responsibility for classroom attendance, as part of satisfactory
completion of a course, is under the control of each faculty member. A
student who misses a class or plans to miss a class(es) must contact the
faculty member(s) directly regarding an excused absence policy for each
course and should then work with the individual faculty member relative to
any absences that may occur.
Beginning with the Spring 2005 semester, the music faculty are taking a concerted
attendance policy in the hopes that consistent classroom attendance will
stimulate greater learning. To this end, the faculty have decided to
implement the following policy regarding attendance: in MWF classes a
student will be dropped from the course with a failing grade after 5
[unexcused] absences; in TR classes a student will be dropped after 3
[unexcused] absences. Whether or not to include absences for which the
student has made contact with the professor in advance is at the discretion
of the individual professor.
In an emergency situation or where there is an extremely personal and/or
confidential matter, the Dean of Student’s office can be notified first and
the staff will coordinate notification of the absence(s) to appropriate
faculty member or University offices. On such occasions, the student may
make phone contact with the Dean’s Office, but he/she will need to be
prepared to go in for a personal consultation.
