Faculty Absence from Campus

Faculty members are expected to meet all of their classes regularly and punctually. If they are unable to meet their classes because of illness or unexpected emergency, they should inform their department chair or program director as soon as possible. Faculty who plan to be absent from scheduled classes for activities such as professional meetings or school business should inform these individuals as soon as possible and recommend a plan for the meeting of classes and/or for other appropriate educational activity in lieu of classes. If the planned absence is longer than one week, faculty should notify their Dean and department chair or program director in order to develop a plan for classes during the faculty member’s absence.
