What are the department's attendance, absence, and missed assignment/exam policies?
Attendance in classes is expected in all courses at Syracuse University and by the department. Faculty will use Early-Semester Progress Reports and Mid-Semester Progress Reports in Orange SUccess to alert the Registrar and Financial Aid Office of Non-attendance or Stopped Attending.
- It is up to the instructor whether attendance and participation are graded.
- There is no departmental policy regarding make-up exams or assignments. In general, specific course policies about missed assignments/exams due to absence are up to the instructor. Whatever your policies, whether you allow make-up exams/assignments, deadline extensions, etc., they should be clearly stated on your syllabus from the beginning of the semester.
- Types of absence and absence notifications are described here. Instructors may require an absence notification (received through OrangeSuccess) for extended absences for make-up exam/assignment eligibility or due date extensions.
- Final exam dates should be on the syllabus from the beginning of the semester (available in MySlice and here). Final dates/times should NOT be changed. Students will not be excused from scheduled finals for reasons other than documented illness/emergency absences. If an incomplete is needed due to an emergency situation, please contact the department. Students who are graduating cannot take incompletes- contact the department chair.
