Student Responsibilities
It is the student’s responsibility to know the attendance policy in each course for which they are registered.
A student who knows in advance that it will be necessary to miss a course session should inform the instructor immediately. A student who is ill for a period of time exceeding one week or who has a family emergency should also contact the Office of the Dean of Students and the Academic Advising and Achievement Center, who will notify the Registrar’s Office and/or the instructors.
Students who require special accommodation for University-sponsored activities, such as intercollegiate athletic competition, must arrange for such accommodation with each instructor in advance, as early as possible. Student athletes should contact the Faculty Athletic Representative for information about requesting accommodation during the season.
It is the student’s responsibility to officially drop, add, or withdraw from courses, in consultation with the academic advisor. Information regarding deadlines and policies for enrollment changes can be found on the Registrar’s Office website and in the Academic Calendar at www.dominican.edu.
Each student is responsible for all of the material covered in a course, as outlined in the course syllabus. Students who have been approved by an instructor to add a course after the first day of the course are responsible for working with the instructor to develop a timeline for making up all work and meeting all course requirements by the end of the semester; this includes Independent Study courses and tutorial sections.
