Abstract
Although it is clear in the Class Attendance Policy in the current Faculty Handbook that faculty may institute attendance requirements for their own courses (provided that the policy is approved by a faculty committee of the department and/or the department chair and is stated in writing in the course syllabus and explained during the first full week of the semester), there is no direct guidance in the policy on how faculty members should handle requests to excuse absences and allow make-up work in special circumstances beyond the immediate control of students that may affect their attendance.
