Class attendance and university engagement are crucial for academic success and personal development. We believe that active participation and attendance contribute significantly to the overall learning experience, and we appreciate your commitment to fostering a positive and engaging academic environment. It is important for both students and faculty to adhere to the university's Class Attendance Policy.
Students, if you have any concerns about attendance, please communicate with your professors in advance. Faculty are expected to take attendance regularly and communicate any attendance policies clearly in their syllabus. As we cultivate our culture of care, faculty are understanding of students' situations and work with them when necessary.
As a commitment to student success, you are encouraged to use your campus resources for support with academic and personal needs.
We are excited to applaud the accomplishments and achievements that this semester will bring.
If you have any questions or need assistance, our dedicated faculty and staff are here to support you. Wishing everyone a successful and fulfilling semester!
Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
Dr. DeNeia Thomas
Acting Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs
