Class Policies

Attendance: Attendance is expected for all classes. Attendance will be taken daily using the class seating chart. You should be in your assigned seat with your nametag to be counted as present. Sleeping in class will be considered as an absence.

If you should miss class You are expected to get any information or assignments from a source other than the professor. This will be critical for the passport updates, test announcements, etc.

There are no excused or unexcused absences. You have up to 4 absences to use for any reason. After the first 4 absences there is a 10 point penalty for each additional absence that is subtracted from the student’s total course points.

In the event that a student has the four absences plus additional extended absences due to hospitalization, severe illness, participation in activities with a formal group for JMU, (band trips, athletics, debate team, etc.), and major family emergencies, a lesser penalty may be applied with sufficient evidence or documentation approved by the professor.

You may not be late for class. The door is locked within 5 minutes of the class start time. You will not be admitted once class has started.

If you need to leave early it must be for an emergency and you must attend 85% of a class (65 minutes, missing no more than 10 minutes) to receive credit for attendance. A student must notify the professor if he/she must leave early and sit in the back of class.

Students are expected to remain in class for the duration unless there is a medical emergency. The door to the class will be locked within 5 minutes of class starting time, so a student will not be readmitted after exciting the class once the door is locked.
