ELIZABETH CITY STATE UNIVERSITY
CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY

ATTENDANCE POLICY FOR : GE 109 INTRODUCTION TO COLLEGE MATH

INSTRUCTOR : SEMESTER:

1. GENERAL ATTENDANCE POLICY STATEMENT
Elizabeth City State University recognizes that regular, punctual class attendance is essential to each
student’s successful academic performance. Although all learning does not take place in the formal
classroom, classroom instruction is the primary vehicle for the delivery of knowledge to students,
the evaluation of achievement, the forum for intellectual exchange, skill development, and the
molding of attitudes which promote the attainment of goals resident in the teaching- learning
process at ECSU. This policy is designed to encourage students to make the best grades of which
they are capable while discouraging absences. Thus, all students are expected to attend all classes
for all courses in which they are enrolled.

2. ALLOWABLE ABSENCES
The maximum number of absences permitted by an instructor in a semester shall not exceed twice
the number of times the course meets per week. No additional absences shall be allowed except in
the most severe and unusual circumstances. Students involved in official University functions should
make special arrangements with the instructor at the beginning of the semester.

Examples:
Courses meeting 3 times per week = 3- 6 absences maximum per semester
Courses meeting 2 times per week = 2 -4 absences maximum per semester

3. THE INSTRUCTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY
Instructors will determine what action, if any, needs to be taken regarding make up of missed
instruction. The instructor also determines the actual number of absences s/he will allow (see#2)
“Official Absences”, and the consequences or excess lateness and excess absences. NO OFFICE
OF THE UNIVERSITY WILL ISSUE EXCUSES TO STUDENTS.

4. EXCESSIVE ABSENCES
Should a student exceed the allowable number of absences, the instructor may inform the student
(in writing) that a grade of “FA” will be turned in at the end of the semester. At this point, the student
may wish to withdraw from the course.

5. THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY
Absence form class for any reason does not free the student from responsibility for material covered
during missed classes. It is the students responsibility to make arrangements with each course
instructor to acquire missed instruction.

6. MISSING TESTS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Failure to take announced tests or to submit assignments as scheduled constitutes a serious breach
of academic procedure. Students will be allowed to make up missed tests or submit assignments
late only with the consent of the instructor.

7. PUNCTUALITY
Punctuality being an important component of a well run class, students are expected to be on time to
every class meeting. Instructors may record excessive lateness as an absence.

8. STUDENT APPEAL PROCESS
When the instructor informs a student of the instructor’s intention of turning in a grade of “FA” because
of excess absences, the student may appeal. The appeal process begins with the instructor.
(Discuss first with instructor.) Next, appeal may be made to the instructor’s department chair. Finally,
the student may appeal to an appeal board composed of instructors, administrators, and students.
All such appeals must be initiated within 14 (fourteen) days of the date the student is sent notification
of the instructor’s intention to turn in an “FA “grade. NO APPEAL WILL BE ALLOWED AFTER
COURSE GRADES HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE REGISTRAR.
