MSW Student Guide

Section 1.08.00: Policy on Class Attendance

Students are expected to attend all of their scheduled classes. Attendance policies are left to the discretion of instructors. Instructors should give notice of their attendance policies in writing (e.g., indicated in the course syllabus) and are expected to review their attendance policy with students early in the term.

Excessive absences, as determined by the instructor, may result in a reduction in grade or a failing grade, and should be brought to the attention of the student and the academic advisor by the course instructor.

Due to the nature of many course assignments, in-class skill building activities and group projects, if a student fails to attend most class sessions or does not communicate with the instructor about missed class sections, the student may be asked by the course instructor to withdraw from the course.
