Is there a policy regarding teaching absences?
It is the responsibility of the instructor to meet all scheduled classes. In the event of an unavoidable absence due to emergencies, religious holidays, or other scheduling conflicts, the instructor must reschedule missed classes, arrange for a replacement or provide alternative instruction. If an instructor must cancel a class due to an emergency or illness, he/she must contact the Faculty Support Center, and the Coordinator of Services to Faculty, Ms. Barbara Jarrell, as well as the Receptionist, Ms. Noris Schrils. Faculty should also send an email message to all students in their classes. Should an instructor be absent for an extended period due to illness or injury, the instructor should notify the Associate Deans office so that a substitute instructor can be provided.
