advisers to consider alternative courses priorto registration.

In order to maintain the academic integrityof our programs, it is important that any classsession that is missed due to weather, instructorillness or other emergency is made up, and thatany missed material is covered. However, facultymembers have considerable latitude over how theclass sessions will be made up and have severaloptions from which to choose. They may:

• Extend each class period so as to make up thetotal time missed.

• Plan and schedule an Adobe Connect/Blackboard online session.

• Re-schedule the class period to a designatedmake-up day. Designated make-up days

are scheduled at the end of each 8-weekterm or semester.

Whenever a class session is cancelled,each faculty member may choose the mostappropriate make-up alternative for thatparticular class. The faculty member mustnotify the students in the class and the Office of

Education about which option will be used tomake up the class period.

This policy is designed to address thosesituations when a single class day has beencancelled. Weather emergencies or other eventsthat result in multiple-day cancellations will behandled on a case-by-case basis.

Religious Observances

Religious observances are valid reasons forstudents to be excused from class. Wheneverfeasible, students should be allowed to make upacademic assignments that are missed due tosuch absences. However, the student must notifythe instructor in writing of the projected absenceprior to the second class session of the course.Students who expect to miss several classes

because of religious observances are encouragedto meet with their academic advisers to consideralternative courses prior to registration.
