This course meets in person and has required, graded attendance; 100% attendance is expected for each lab for the entire lab period. Absences from lab may be considered excused or unexcused as outlined below. You should notify the instructor and your section TAs as soon as you are aware of any potential absence, and before the missed lab if you have any expectation of absence ahead of time. If you miss a lab, you are still responsible for completing any associated assignments. 

• Excused absences: Excused absence requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and require appropriate documentation supporting the absence request. Please note that any medical documentation should be submitted to the Dean of Students via the Class Absence Verification Form (select “Class Absence Verification”) rather than to your course instructors. Select “Class Absence Verification” for documentation of an absence, including missed exams. Examples of potential excused absences include illness, illness or death in your immediate family, and participation in official university activities. For excused absences, missed assignments and makeup lab assignments will typically be due within one week of the original due date.
• Unexcused absences: There are no make-up opportunities for unexcused absences. Vacation, work commitments, social events are not considered acceptable reasons to miss lab. Each unexcused absence will lower your final grade by half a letter grade.
