Absence Policy for Health Science Adjunct Faculty
If for reasons beyond your control it becomes necessary for you to be absent or late to class, it is your responsibility to contact your students and course contact person as early as possible. Communicate your plan to your course contact person. You could attempt to make up missed classes as needed and if agreeable with students. The class may be rescheduled, time may be added to remaining classes, or other special arrangements may be made such as scheduling a substitute. Make-up plans should be discussed with your course contact person. Adjunct faculty can earn one paid absence per semester, cumulative: two per year. Up to four days may be banked, allowing up to five absences a semester (the one day allowed per semester plus the four banked days). Please see Carol Glass, Office Coordinator in Linn Hall 221.
