Is Attendance Required?

The academic program of Muskingum University operates on the assumption that learning is advanced by regular attendance at class and laboratory.

It is the responsibility of the student to arrange to make up, at the convenience of the instructor, class assignments or previously scheduled quizzes and/or exams missed due to absence. Timely (at least one week in advance) notice to professors when absence will be unavoidable is expected. No instructor may deny a student the opportunity to make up coursework missed because of bona fide medical, personal or family emergency, or when timely notice is received, because of previously scheduled participation in institutionally sanctioned activities.

In other words, yes, attendance is required. See each course's syllabus for details on specific instructor's classroom attendance policies.
