Polices:

1. Attendance. Lambuth University affirms the relationship between class

attendance and academic performance; hence, students are required to attend all

classes. If the academic standing of a student is affected by absenteeism, the

instructor will notify the student. Students are accountable for every class meeting

of every course for which they are enrolled. All absences, whether for personal

reasons or for official university functions, are subject to this accountability. Whenever

it is necessary for a student to be absent from class for any reason whatsoever,

it is the responsibility of the student to consult with the instructor prior to class and

to make up the work missed. In an emergency, absences must be explained when a

student returns to class. Students may not be penalized for absences incurred for

official university-sponsored activities, sponsored trips, and athletic contests. Instructors

may assign reasonable and relevant compensatory work for absences.

2. Cheating: Any student guilty of cheating will fail the class and that student may be subject to additional disciplinary action by the university.
