Policy Provisions
1.	Class Attendance
Peer as well as faculty interaction is a very important component in the M.S.P. graduate learning process.  Thus, the class attendance of each student is a significant factor in the teaching and learning environment, and student attendance in class is an important expectation of the program.  A student is expected to discuss any absence, preferably in advance, with his/her professor.
In general, faculty members will assist the student in securing the information missed due to an emergency and/or work-related absence.
All cellular telephones and paging devices must be turned off during class and testing periods.
