Absences due to participation in intercollegiate functions and other co-curricular activities will be excused. The student requiring the absence from classes will notify his/her instructors at least 12 hours before the time of the absence, preferably at the class meeting before the planned absence.

Attendance at co-curricular functions is encouraged by the faculty and administration. Students will be excused from class attendance, but not from the responsibility of the work that they miss during their absence. In this regard, members of the instructional staff should be as cooperative as possible in helping excused students to “make up” missed work.
