Faculty are expected to meet all assigned classes and laboratories on a regular basis for the required/allotted time. Faculty who miss classes must arrange for a colleague or other professional to fulfill the assignment and should report the absence from class to the department chair. In some cases, students may be given out-of-class assignments during the absence of the instructor. In no case should students be left unsupervised in studios or laboratories. An illness that may result in absence beyond two class meetings requires notification of the appropriate dean.
