Responsibility for class attendance rests with the student. In all cases, the work missed through absence must be made up. However, permission to make up work is not automatic and must be approved by the instructor. The University reserves the right to exclude from a graduate program, course, or final examination any student whose attendance in classes is unsatisfactory to the instructor, the Program Director or the Dean. CERTIFICATION Teacher education, school counseling and school psychology students who will be seeking State certification will need to register on the New York State Education Department’s TEACH system at www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert/teach/.
