Attendance Policy

  1. Some clinical, classroom and laboratory activities cannot be made up if missed; if missed, students could be unprepared for subsequent experiences. The Division of Dental Hygiene expects students to be present for all mandatory clinics and classes. If a student does not have a patient, options for volunteer blocks are described in clinical course outlines.
  2. To qualify for an excused absence (religious holiday, scheduled event), students are required to submit an absence form to their course coordinator within the first 10 days of the semester. If a scheduled examination is missed due to an excused absence, the student MUST take the exam within 24 hours or will receive a zero.
  3. In the event of an emergency, death, or illness, it is the student’s responsibility to notify the Course Director as soon as possible if he/she will be unable to attend a mandatory class.  For unexpected absences arising after the first 10 days of the semester, students must submit a completed absence form with appropriate documentation verifying the reason for absence (such as medical doctor's note, death notices in case of funeral attendance, a government or court summons or other official notification explaining absences that requires verification). 
  4. Course specific attendance policies are described in each course syllabus.
