Attendance
A student is expected to attend each class for which he/she is registered except in cases of unavoidable circumstances. Class attendance will be monitored during the term. Students who are reported for nonattendance will be assigned a grade of "F"; which will appear on their transcripts. Nonattendance will be reported to the appropriate agencies. Distribution of future financial aid will be suspended if applicable.
Exceptions are made for University-sanctioned activities. Students will not be penalized for such absences. Students anticipating participation in University functions that will take them out of classes should discuss these absences with their instructors at the earliest convenient time.
The fact that a student may be absent from a class does not, in any way, relieve that student of the responsibility for the work covered or assigned during the absence. It is the responsibility of faculty members to excuse or refuse to excuse absences of students who miss their classes. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain excuses for absences and to arrange with the faculty member in question to make up the work missed. Absences begin with the first date the student is enrolled in class.
MTSU does not, generally, close because of inclement weather, but students will be allowed to use their own discretion when snow and icy conditions exist - they will be given the opportunity to makeup the missed classes should they decide not to attend.
