E. NECESSARY ABSENCES FROM CLASSES

  1. Illness

    In the case of illness, the faculty member should notify the department chair/school dean as soon as possible. Department chairs/school deans suffering illness should report to the college dean.

  2. Planned Absences

    Occasional absences for professional reasons may be approved in advance by the department chair/school dean. Appropriate arrangements must be made for classes missed. If the absence involves a trip, a trip request should be filed with the college dean after having been signed by the department chair/school dean. Department chairs/school deans should have all absences for professional reasons approved in advance by the college dean.

    All unapproved absences, as well as approved absences for other than professional reasons, will normally result in loss of salary for time missed.
