Excused Absences for School-Sponsored Activities and Professional Interviews
NUMBER: Policy III-1-1
(Formerly Policy III-4)
The faculty recognizes
school sponsored and professional interviews to be a valued component of student
development, education, and post-baccalaureate placement. When these activities
result in a classroom absence, the faculty members have agreed to accommodate
these activities in accordance with this policy.
1.
Students who anticipate activities under this policy will notify their
instructors prior to the absence.
2.
Students must be given the opportunity to make-up exams missed in the
course of the absence.
3.
Students will consult with their instructors regarding the make-up of
other graded activities that will be missed.
4.
Recognized Activities
A.
Recognized activities are determined by the Advisor of the sponsoring
SDSM&T organization or the Coach of the involved athletic team. If there are
any questions the Advisor/Coach will consult with the Vice President for Student
Affairs/Athletic Director. A list of SDSM&T advisors is posted on the SDSM&T
website. Upon request or as a standard process, the advisor/coach may send an
e-mail notice verifying the event.
B.
Professional interviews are those related to graduate schools or
career-related positions. If there are any questions, instructors may contact
the Director of the Career Center for verification of the interviews.
5.
Other arrangements (if allowable) for absences not covered under this
policy will be decided between the faculty member and the student, and/or under
the guidelines of the class syllabus of the instructor.
6.
Steps toward resolution of disagreements will follow the established SDSM&T
Grievance Procedure for Students Policy III-1-3.
