OTHER COURSE INFORMATION
4. CLASS ABSENTEE/TARDY POLICY.
*
Students are allowed one unexcused absence, without question from the course
instructor, for each credit hour of class. The exception to this policy is night
classes and/or classes that meet only once a week which carry two or more hours
of academic credit. In this case, one unexcused absence is allowed. More than the
acceptable number of unexcused absences will lower the semester grade of the
student one letter for each extra unexcused absence. For example, in a three-hour
semester course, the student is allowed three unexcused absences. A fourth
unexcused absence will result in lowering the semester grade one letter. If the
student has a semester grade of A and one too many unexcused absences, his/her
semester letter grade will be a B.
*
Excused absences must be documented by the student and approved by the
instructor. It is the responsibility of the student to see the instructor to verify an
excused absence. Otherwise, the absence will be considered unexcused.
*
Three tardies (five minutes coming in late or leaving class early) will equal one
absence. It is the responsibility of the student to see the instructor after class
about changing an absence to a tardy.
*
Regardless of a student's semester grade, he/she will not receive credit for any
course in which the combined number of absences exceed the number established
by Mississippi College. Note the following statement from the 2013-2014
Mississippi College General Bulletin:
A student receives a grade of F in any course immediately upon
12 in semester classes meeting 3 times per week
8 in semester classes meeting 2 times per week
4 in semester classes meeting 1 time per week
6 in summer day classes
Proportionate numbers in classes on other schedules.
If a student misses more than the number of class periods specified in university
policy and believes that there are reasonable explanations for the absences, he/she
may appeal the absences to the Dean of the School in which the course is being
taught. Students may obtain a Student Absence Appeal Form from the Dean’s
Office.
*
Makeup for Absences: Students are responsible for making up work they miss. If
handouts are given, they should arrange to have another student in the class get
their handouts.
5. SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS. If special accommodations due to learning, physical,
psychological, or other disabilities are needed, please contact the Counseling and Career
