Academic Policies
Attendance
The law school requires regular and punctual class attendance by all students in all classes.
Individual faculty members may use class attendance and punctuality in assessing grades or determining whether to grant credit for a course.
The Law Records Office maintains attendance records for first-year classes during the first semester. Students not regularly attending classes will be notified by the senior assistant dean for student services. Notice will also be given to the students’ professors.
In upper-division courses, individual faculty members are responsible for monitoring attendance and punctuality as each deems appropriate.
Students unable to attend class regularly and punctually should consider petitioning to take a leave of absence.
