Excused Absences due to Public Health Emergencies Policy:
If a student is asked to remain home due to a public health emergency, every effort will be made to ensure that the student remains on track with all coursework. This may include allowing the student to complete assignments and participate in the class remotely when possible. Absences incurred during the recommended or directed self-isolation period will not violate an instructor’s attendance policy as long as the student has contacted the Dean of Students’ office prior to missing class. The college acknowledges that some classes include content and experiences that cannot be completed remotely. In these cases, instructors, department chairs, and the VPs of Academic Affairs and Student Services will discuss what options are available to assist students in completing their course of study.
