Class Attendance

Purdue University policy states that all students are expected to be present for every meeting of classes in which they are enrolled.
All matters relative to attendance, including the make-up of missed work, are to be arranged between you and the instructor involved.
Only the instructor can excuse you from classes or course responsibilities.
In the case of an illness, accident, or an emergency, the Office of the Dean of Students should be notified as soon as possible. The student should make direct contact with his/her instructors as soon as possible, preferably before the class, if an exam is to be held. If the instructor cannot be reached directly a message should be left in the instructor’s department mailbox or with the instructor’s secretary.
If you do have to miss a class, talk with the instructor about missed notes or borrow class notes from another student in the class and try to review them with that student or the instructor.
