Attendance Policy and Classroom Decorum

Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes in accordance with published Spring Hill College Policies (p. 54, 2006-2007 Spring Hill College Bulletin of Information).  Students may be excused for approved college-sponsored activities, as well as other valid reasons including health considerations.  In all cases, it is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor in advance or within 24 hours of the missed class or lab.  All other absences may be considered unexcused.  After two unexcused absences in either lecture or lab the student will be warned.  A third unexcused absence will result in exclusion from the course.  The last day to withdraw from a course with a non-penalty “W” in the fall is  Wednesday, October 23, 2007 In the spring, it is Monday, March 21, 2006.  Please note that laboratories often require extended preparation time for the instructor, so prompt notification of excused absence will facilitate the student’s opportunity to make up the missed laboratory experience.

Students are expected to be on time, awake, alert and with at least the appearance of interest.  Use of cell phones is prohibited in the classroom, as is the use of iPods, cd players or other personal electronics equipment. These items should be turned off and stowed out of sight.  Use of laptop computers is permitted as long as their use relates to class exercises.  Failure to follow these guidelines will result in a warning (first offense) to expulsion from class (repeated offenses).
