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 (in the College of Arts & Sciences), the program director (College of Adult & Professional Studies/Graduate School), or the Dean (in the Seminary) 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, CAS faculty should notify the Associate Provost as well as the department chair, in order to develop a plan for classes during the faculty member’s absence; CAPS/GS faculty should notify the Associate Provost of CAPS/GS as well as the program director; and Seminary faculty should notify the Dean.
