Graduate Class Attendance and Administrative Withdrawal

Class Attendance Policy

The faculty and administration at Bethany College believe that class attendance is an important part of each student’s educational experience. Attendance policies may be established by each academic department of the college. The attendance policy will be included in the syllabus of each course and will be provided to students in the Learning Management System. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the attendance policy for each course. What constitutes attendance, including excused or unexcused absences, for online asynchronous courses will be specified in the syllabus. The policy for completing make-up work due to excused absences is found in each course’s syllabus.

Administrative Withdrawal Due to Attendance

Failure to engage in a course for 2 or more weeks will be reviewed by the Graduate Council and may be used to Administratively Withdraw a student from the program. In the event an Administrative Withdrawal occurs, a grade of AW will be recorded.
