Class Attendance Is Required
Not only is this IUP policy, but consistently attending class is the only way students can successfully complete this or any course. Succeeding as a graduate student is a full time job and regular class attendance is one of the required duties of that job.
Excused Absences and Attendance Issues
No matter how well people plan, there are always some issues that can arise which disrupt a student’s best efforts to attend every class. Please contact Dr. Pagnucci if you have any conflicts that will cause you to miss a class, and he will help you to work around this challenge.
Course Participation
Please be aware that students who miss class sessions will lose Course Participation points, so if you do have any issues with attendance, please let Dr. Pagnucci know immediately.
Attendance Problems
Because the summer semester is so short, if a student has major attendance problems, this can drastically impact their final course grade. If you have any type of attendance problems, please immediately arrange to meet with Dr. Pagnucci to discuss how this problem can best be addressed.
