IV. Attendance
B. Class Attendance
- There are no formal institutional regulations regarding class attendance
at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The resources of the Institute
are provided for the intellectual growth and development of the students
who attend. A schedule of courses is provided for the students and faculty
to facilitate an orderly arrangement of the program of instruction. The
fact that classes are scheduled is evidence that attendance is important;
students should, therefore, maintain regular attendance if they are to
attain maximum success in the pursuit of their studies.
- All students are responsible for obtaining an understanding of each
instructor's policy regarding absences; all students are expected to
attend announced quizzes, laboratory periods, and final examinations.
Although it is recognized that occasionally it may be necessary for students
to be absent from scheduled classes or laboratories for personal reasons,
including major religious observances, students are responsible for all
material covered in their absences, and they are responsible for the
academic consequences of their absences. Students should discuss planned
absences with their instructors as soon as possible after the beginning
of an academic term. Work missed may be made up at the discretion of
the instructors.
- Students who are absent because of participation in approved Institute
activities (such as field trips and athletic events) will be permitted
to make up the work missed during their absences. Approval of such activities
will be granted by the Student Academic and Financial Affairs Committee
of the Academic Senate, and statements of the approved absence may be
obtained from the Office of the Registrar.
