Attendance- will you be late or absent?

Partnership Adjunct Faculty:  It is important that you have contact information for your Program Director, Site Coordinator, and your students know you will be late or absent. 

  • If you are running late for class, contact your Program Director and Site Coordinator, inform them of your expected arrival time. 

  • The Coordinator will inform the students and post a note on the classroom door.  

  • If you are sick and class has to be cancelled at the last minute, follow the same instructions.  Also, give the Coordinator instructions on what work the class must complete.  

  • If you know ahead of time that you will miss a class night, you must receive permission from your Program Director first.  You must also plan an assignment and/or substitute for the evening. 

After you receive permission from the Program Director, then inform the Site Coordinator, and your students.
