Speech@Emerson Prolonged Absence Policy
Speech@Emerson Prolonged Absence Policy
Course Attendance
Due to the intense and rigorous nature of the Speech@Emerson program, it is not possible to meet academic and clinical learning goals if students miss more than two consecutive weeks in a single applied graduate course semester or one week in a foundational course semester. An absence greater than the stated timeframes is considered a prolonged absence.
When a student anticipates or experiences a prolonged absence, students should notify a Student Success Advisor immediately. Prolonged absences have the potential to impact students’ overall plan of study and anticipated graduation date.
If a student does experience a prolonged absence, options include:
taking a Leave of Absence for the term
taking an Incomplete grade in academic coursework. (Because CD 612, 613, 614, 615 are associated with external contracts negotiated with non-Emerson sites, taking an Incomplete may not be an option.)
For more information about incomplete grades, leaves of absence & course withdrawal, please read the relevant sections of the graduate catalogue.
Please reach out to Speech@Emerson Student Success with any questions or unique situations by calling (877) 889-7647, or emailing studentsuccess@speech.emerson.edu.
