Attendance
You are required to attend a virtual onboarding session prior to the start of their first term. In addition, you are required to attend all scheduled immersive learning activities.
In addition to the University’s Attendance Policy, the following topics address the School of Nursing’s expectations.
Attendance Policy for Onsite and Virtual Activities
Success in this program requires your full commitment, including attendance at all onsite and virtual activities for each course that requires them.
General Expectations
Onsite and virtual activities are subject to the attendance policy.
Students must arrive 10-15 minutes early to onsite and virtual activities.
A student is considered:
Tardy: 1-10 minutes late
Absent: More than 10 minutes late and student may be dismissed from activity
Two tardy arrivals equal one absence.
Absence Consequences
Two total consequences (onsite or virtual) = automatic course failure
Extenuating circumstances leading to two or more absences will be reviewed by the Academic Program Head on a case-by-case basis and may still result in failure from the course.
Make-Up Activities
The Academic Program Head and/or nursing faculty will determine the schedule for any make-up days for missed onsite or virtual activities.
Failure to attend a scheduled make-up day may result in a failure.
All missed hours must be made up before the end of the term (unless prior approval is given).
Clinical Orientations (click to expand)
Clinical facilities may require students and faculty to complete a site-specific orientation.
If you do not attend the clinical orientation:
You will not be permitted to perform any course clinical hours until the orientation has been completed.
You will be considered absent until the clinical orientation is completed.
Reporting Absences
If you know you'll miss an onsite or virtual activity:
You must contact the appropriate immersive learning instructor at least 30 minutes before the assigned start time.
If you do contact the instructor, this may result in disciplinary action.
In an emergency (e.g., a severe accident/injury), contact:
Your faculty or Academic Program Head as soon as possible
After an Absence
All missed hours must be completed satisfactorily
If missed hours are not made up by the end of the term (and no prior arrangements are made and approved by the Academic Program Head), the student will fail the course
You are responsible for:
Getting any missed information
Being prepared for all assignments on your return, unelss you've made prior arragements with the faculty member
