Attendance PolicySaint Anselm College
Attendance
Students are expected to attend prepared for each class and to arrive on time. I will take attendance everyday
in class. Consult the Student Handbook for College policy on attendance. Students
are permitted unexcused absences equal to the number of meetings a class is
held in one week. For example, if a class meets 2 times per week, the limit
is 2 unexcused absences permitted for the semester. If a class meets twice a week,
then two unexcused absences are permitted for the semester. Students must have
a note from the Dean's office if they have missed an assignment (quiz, exam, composition, etc) due to illness! Health Services is not responsible for issuing
paperwork on student absences. Refer to the Dean's
policy clarification here. If there is a death in the family I must have
a note from the Dean's office
to confirm the event. Failure to obtain a College approved excuse for missing
an exam will result in a grade of zero for the missed exam grade. Contact me
at as soon as you know there is a potential problem with attendance (jorrego@anselm.edu).
Athletics and AttendanceStudent athletes will occasionally encounter conflicts between games and their classes in this course. It is your responsibility to see me before the scheduling conflict between your game and class and make the appropriate arrangements. Make sure that you check the possible assignments you can make up so that you can attend your event. Remember that academic obligations always take precedence over athletics at Saint Anselm College. I want student-athletes to attend all of their practices and all of their games in addition to all of their classes and labs. In order to achieve this student-athletes must do two things. 1) Student-athletes must notify me as early as possible, in person, of any conflicts they will have with class times, practices and games. 2) Student-athletes must notify me as early as possible, in person, of any classes they will miss because they have a game that day or must travel to a game on the next day. Each student must make up the assignment the week it is given or they will penalized. This rarely occurs but I want everyone to be aware of this. |
