Students of securing should excuses AND TARDINESS be familiar with the method for absences from class. The burden of responsibility for absence and tardiness rests at all times upon the individual involv~d. He must take the initiative in planning for !naking up work after an absence, Please note that no un-excused absence is without pen~lty. The following regulations governing excused and unexcused absences for all students have been approved by the faculty . ' The Dean's List Twice a year, there is published The Dean's List, a list of students who have made a grade " B " or better i' n ever y course taken during the , previous 1. semester. one of the following reasons: a. Personal illness or emergency medical or dental appointments, (1) A written statement from the college Classes The following number of credits are necessary to become a member of each class: Sophomore -32 Junior -64 Senior -96 Graduate -128 'nurse, or degree , REGISTRATION Students are reminded to register and pay fees on the assigned dates. All fees must be paid -10- Excused absence forms may be secured from the Dean of Men or the Dean of Women for the college physician, or the family doctor or dentist, b. Serious illness or death in the immediate family, c. Marriage in the immediate family. d. Absence from the campus for participation in athlteic contests (or other college activities) when requested by the facultyr -11- I i I spon"or and approved by the Dean of i l Instruction. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. If the student does not secure his excuse from the Dean of Men or the Dean of Women and present it to the instructor within seven days after the absence, the absence shall be !,onsidered unexcused. There is no cut system at Edinboro State Teachers College. Unexcused absences are regarded as prima facie evidence of neglect and indifference on the part of the student and are so considered in assigning grades. Three' tardinesses shall be considered as equal to one unexcused absence. It is the student's responsibility to contact his instructors to make up work missed because of an excused absence. If he does not make up this work, he will be penalized in his grade. 'I:he student may not make up work because of an unexcused absence. He will be penalized in his grade for aU unexcused absences. For example, in a three-credit course three unexcused absences will result in lowering the grade one letter; four unexcused absences will result in expulsion from class with failure. Whenever a student hl!s been absent from any course more than twenty per cent of its total class hours, the teacher in charge shall report the case to the Chairman of the Absence Committee. -12- I ~ j I No student whose absences from any course exceed twenty per cent of its total class hQurs shall receive credit for that course. In individual cases where abvious injustice would result from enforcement of this rule the Absence Committee of the Faculty ma; waive it. 9. Reports of absences, both excused and unexcused, will be sent to parents at the end of each quarter. ASSEMBL Y Each Wednesday morning, the entire student body meets in the auditorium for a period of worship and entertainment. The programs are varied and consist of lectures by prominent thinkers, musical recitals, plays, skits, movies, and important announcements. A committee of students meets with the faculty sponsors' to plan the program. Every student at Edinboro is required to attend. An assembly seating list will be prepared with seats assigned and attendance will be checked. The list of absentees shall be filed in 'the office of the Dean of Instruction. Each unexcused absence automatically lowers by one point the total accumulation of quality points which the student has earned toward graduation.
