Students are responsible for arranging to make up

Students are responsible for arranging to make up work missed because of
legitimate class absence, such as illness, family emergencies, military
obligation, court-imposed legal obligations or participation in University-
approved activities. Examples of University-approved reasons for absences
include participating on an athletic or scholastic team, musical and
theatrical performances and debate activities. It is the student’s
responsibility to give the instructor notice prior to any anticipated absences
and within a reasonable amount of time after an unanticipated absence,
ordinarily by the next scheduled class meeting. Instructors must allow each
student who is absent for a University-approved reason the opportunity to
make up work missed without any reduction in the student’s final course
grade as a direct result of such absence.
Etiquette and/or Netiquette Policy
Students are expected to act in a courteous and respectful manner to all
members of the FAU community. This encompasses both offline and online
interactions. Online etiquette is often referred to as “Netiquette,” or
“Internet Etiquette” - the conventions of politeness pertaining to e-mail and
technology use. As the Internet continues to evolve, so do the issues that
impact the way we use it and interact with others. It is important to
recognize that online communication is different from that of the face-to-
face world, with its own unique customs and practices.
Please follow Florida Atlantic University Netiquette guidelines which can be

Communication and Recording Devices
Personal Communication Devices
In order to enhance and maintain a productive atmosphere for education,
personal communication devices, such as cellular telephones and pagers,
are to be disabled in class sessions. Students awaiting important or

emergency information via a personal communication device such as cell
phones, beepers, etc. must inform the instructor at the beginning of class.
If the student is contacted they should exit the class after answering so as
to avoid disturbing other students.
Individual who answer or utilize communication devices may be asked to
leave the class for the remainder of the session.
