Attendance

It is an expectation that students will be in attendance for all in-class programs. Courses with an online component may have both synchronous and asynchronous attendance requirements. Synchronous (or real-time) learning experiences happen at the same time for all students. Asynchronous learning experiences happen throughout the course and do not require student participation at a scheduled time.

To receive credit for a course, a student is expected to be in regular attendance/participation and, in all cases, must satisfactorily complete all requirements of the course including, but not limited to, examinations and other assignments prescribed by the instructor. Faculty set specific attendance/participation requirements for courses. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of this policy of each faculty member in whose classes they are enrolled.

It is the student’s responsibility to consult with the appropriate faculty member prior to a necessary absence to determine and confirm arrangements for makeup work. If unable to attend class, the student should contact the faculty member directly. Students remain responsible for all coursework regardless of whether or not they are in attendance. Should a situation arise in which a student will be missing classes for an extended period of time, the student is to contact the Senior Manager of GSB Operations and Student Services' Office, which will then notify the Dean and the student's course instructor(s) of the absence. It is the student's responsibility to contact his or her instructors for information on fulfilling course requirements.
