Is it okay to miss school occasionally?
There are times when events dictate an occasional absence; for example, if you become ill or an important family or work commitment arises. However, in order to enable graduation in just 21 months, EMBA students must cover a large amount of material during class weekends. In those rare cases when you must miss a class, you must clear your absence with the faculty. In addition, someone from your study group needs to be willing to share class notes and handouts. You should make every effort to learn the missed material and prepare for the next set of classes so that you don’t risk falling significantly behind in any courses. Exams are not to be missed. Individual faculty reserve the right to refuse make-up exams. Some may allow for an early exam.
