Absence Policy and Make-up Classes

Due to the nature of physical education courses, active participation is required to pass. Students are permitted to be absent twice the number of credits for a fifty-minute course. (Two absences for a one credit course and four absences for a two-credit course.) Courses that are a one credit and run for 60 or 75 minutes such as dance, tennis, or swimming permit only one absence. Students who are not prepared may not participate and must take an absence. If the students do not attend the required number of classes, course failure will result. In the event of extenuating circumstances, make-up opportunities can be scheduled at the discretion of the instructor.
