Personal Emergencies and Exceptional Circumstances
If a student is forced to miss a class due to sickness, personal emergencies, or unforeseen circumstances, the student must notify the Health Services Office or the Dean of Students Office, who will notify the faculty member. Depending on the nature of the situation and the academic circumstances, the dean of students, after consultation with the faculty member, may recommend an administrative withdrawal from the course.
In exceptional circumstances and if the student has not exceeded the maximum number of absences that would cause one to fail the course, the faculty member may assign additional work and give partial credit for a missed class.
Attending Classes with a Temporary Medical Condition
Students who have a medical condition requiring an arm cast, brace, sling, a leg cast, or the use of crutches will not be permitted in culinary, baking, pastry, or table service classes for safety reasons. When their condition is fully healed, they must present a note from their doctor to the dean of students in order to resume culinary, baking, pastry, or table service classes.
If a student is unable to participate in a cooking, baking, pastry, or table service class, the registrar will try to schedule students in a hospitality management or other class.
Class Makeups
If you have to make up a class for any reason, you must make arrangements through the Registrar’s Office. Doubling up on classes is strongly discouraged, but may be permitted under certain conditions.
