Attendance

Students are responsible for all material presented in lectures and laboratories. Regular attendance to lectures is expected as a component of professionalism and professional development. Students are required to adhere to attendance policies outlined in the syllabus for each course. In addition, within any given course some lectures will have designated mandatory attendance. These lectures will be noted on the schedule. Excessive absenteeism will result in a scheduled meeting with the DPT program Director through the student’s university-issued email account. Active attendance and professional behavior are required at all synchronous course sessions [online and face to face (F2F)]. Following APTA guidelines, professionalism is a core value of our DPT program. With that in mind, attendance in all class sessions is an expectation. If you choose not to be present (F2F or synchronous) you must inform all course faculty via email in advance of the absence outlining the reason why you will be absent. In the event the situation prevents you from emailing prior to the absence, please be in touch with course faculty as soon as possible. You are responsible for all assignments/work missed in your absence, and all work must be made up to the satisfaction of the instructor. Please note that NO modifications or adjustments to student assessment dates (quizzes, exams, assignments, etc.) will be made for absences that are not related to illness, accident, or death in the family.
