USC has a policy with respect to classes missed for University-sanctioned events, including intercollegiate athletic competition. This policy necessitates that student-athletes not be penalized when University-sanctioned competitions are schedule in conflict with course activities or examinations. When a class will be missed for competition, it is the student-athlete’s responsibility to approach the instructor in advance. If an assignment is due on the date when class is missed, it would be reasonable for the instructor to require that it be turned in either before the class that will be missed, or at the first class meeting after the student returns. If a test has been scheduled for the date when class is missed, reasonable options include; offering to give the test at an earlier date; arranging with SAAS to have the test administered by proctor (at the hosting institution) during the trip; or giving a make-up after the student’s return. It is not permissible for instructors to deny student-athletes the opportunity to make up their course work or exams. -- Approved by the Provost’s Oversight Committee on Athletic Academic Affairs http://www.usc.edu/admin/provostoffice/ocaaa/guidelines.html.
