Missing a class for a game is considered an excused absence. A student-athlete is responsible for obtaining any course material covered during a missed class. In addition to providing instructors with game schedules at the beginning of the semester, student-athletes must coordinate making up any missed work with instructors a minimum of one week before each missed class. If an exam is scheduled for the same day that a student-athlete needs to be excused from class for a game, the student-athlete must make arrangements with the professor and/or Academic Services to take the make-up exam within one week after the date of the exam. When a student-athlete is not able to provide one week’s notice (because of rescheduling or post season tournament participation), student athletes should notify instructors immediately. The athletics department will also notify the faculty athletics representatives and/or the vice president of academic affairs when schedule changes will cause class absences. An athletic competition is not a “get out of class free” card; every effort should be made to be in class as long as possible. 8.

Student- Athlete Missed Class and Make-up Policy It is considered an excused absence when a student-athlete misses a class for a game. However, that student is responsible for making up any material, coursework, or exam that will be missed. If an exam is missed due to a game, the student is required to make up that exam within one week after the exam date. They can make arrangements with their professor or Academic Services to make up the exam. The faulty athletics and/or vice president of academic affairs will be notified by the athletics department if the schedule changes.
