The English department has a strict attendance policy consistent with university practices. The department, further, makes no distinction between 鈥渆xcused鈥� or 鈥渦nexcused鈥� absences. Persistent tardies may also be counted toward total absences, though this will be made clear in the syllabi for the class. The English department has a policy that instructs anyone absent for 20 percent or more of the class meetings will automatically fail this class; however, instructors may appeal for waivers of this policy in unusual circumstances.
There are required textbooks for every English class. You are allowed to buy, rent, or borrow textbooks as long as you have them for class. However, you are required to have the necessary textbooks to complete your English class work, homework, and paper assignments.
