First Day Attendance Policy

The Department of Journalism has a limited enrollment in most classes to conform to ACEJMC standards. The department has a first day attendance policy to assure that valuable slots in classes are filled. A student who does not attend class on the first day forfeits that slot, the student’s name will be officially removed from the class roster by the faculty. The student may re-enroll to gain entrance if the slot has not been filled. This policy is not in effect for Introduction to Journalism and Mass Communication, Principles of Advertising and Principles of Public Relations. An exemption is given if the student provides medical documentation that required treatment must be done on the first class day. Documentation must be provided before that class.
