Physical Activity and Wellness Program (PAWP) Attendance Policy:
The material and experiences in this class are important and if you are not in class, you cannot take an active role as a student. Class attendance and appropriate participation is paramount to your success as a student. At the discretion of the instructor, students arriving tardy to class will lose 1% of their final grade per offense. Unexcused absences cannot be made up and will result in up to 3% deduction from the student’s final grade per absence. Once a student has accrued five (5) unexcused absences he/she will not be permitted to take the final examination and will receive a grade of FA (as stipulated by the Physical Activity and Wellness Program guidelines). Moreover, students who accrue eight (8) absences, (excused, unexcused or a combination of the two types) will not be permitted to take the final examination and will receive a grade of FA. If an unusual condition such as a serious illness results in this situation (8 total absences) students are encouraged to consult the AU Bulletin and/or an academic advisor in their college to determine if they meet university guidelines for requesting withdrawal from the course. 
Excused absences will be treated as follows:
a.	Students must provide the instructor with a valid excuse upon returning to class (refer to Auburn University’s policy concerning class attendance and excused/unexcused absences): and
b.	Make-up work developed and assigned at the discretion of the instructor must be completed within a week of the student returning to class. 
If the student fails to follow these instructions the excused absence in question will be calculated as an unexcused absence. There are times when unforeseen circumstances will not allow you to attend class. Exceptions to this policy due to extreme circumstances are only permitted with the professor’s timely knowledge and approval. Arrangements to make up missed assignments and examinations due to properly authorized excused absences shall be initiated by the student within a week of the excused absence as mandated by Auburn University. Again, the format of any make-up work/assignments will be at the instructor’s discretion. Finally, the instructor will address all issues concerning absences at his/her discretion. Students are encouraged to refer to Auburn University’s policies concerning attendance, absences, academic honesty, and make-up work as found in the Auburn Bulletin.

***The above schedule and procedures in this course are subject to change at the discretion of the instructor.
