Staff Issues 3. What is the policy for student athletes who have to miss class for games and/or practices?
Athletics’ policy is that no student should miss a class or a practice. For scheduled events/games it is the responsibility of the student athlete to discuss such an event/game with the faculty member well prior to the event. The offices of the can also supply an official letter to the faculty member confirming the event. As with other non-athletic university sponsored events the provost every fall sends a message to faculty members (include a link to that message) which asks them to give all students reasonable accommodations when they must miss a class for university sanctioned events. In cases where the student athlete may be missing an exam CPIA can also assist in ensuring that the student can complete the exam (see the FAQ on missed exams).
