14. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS:
As stated in the Wayland Catalog, students enrolled at one of the University’s external
campuses should make every effort to attend all class meetings. All absences must be explained
to the instructor, who will then determine whether the omitted work may be made up. When a
student reaches that number of absences considered by the instructor to be excessive, the
instructor will so advise the student and file an unsatisfactory progress report with the campus
executive director. Any student who misses 25 percent or more of the regularly scheduled class
meetings may receive a grade of F in the course. Additional attendance policies for each course,
as defined by the instructor in the course syllabus, are considered a part of the University’s
attendance policy.
(WBU Hawaii Addendum) Students who miss the first two class meetings without providing a
written explanation to the instructor will be automatically dropped from the roster as a “no-
show.” Students who know in advance that they will be absent the first two class meetings and
who wish to remain in the class must inform the instructor in order to discuss possible
arrangements for making up absences.
(Professor Addendum) Attendance is taken for both in-class and online participation. If you miss a
class either in person or do not participate during online weeks, you will be marked as absent.
15. STATEMENT ON PLAGIARISM & ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:
Wayland Baptist University observes a zero tolerance policy regarding academic dishonesty. Per
university policy as described in the academic catalog, all cases of academic dishonesty will be
reported and second offenses will result in suspension from the university.
