MOTION

That the Attendance Policy in the Faculty of Nursing be revised to read [change is shown in bold face]:

"Regular attendance at class is expected of all students in al lcourses. Attendance in the clinical practice/laboratory portions of nursing courses is mandatory to enable the student to satisfy the evaluative criteria of the theoretical and practical components of courses. Students absent from class or practice due to illness may be required to present a certificate of illness. This certificate must be signed by a recognized health care provider. Absence for compassionate reasons is considered on an individual basis. Where absence is involved, make-up time may be required."

"An instructor may initiate procedures to debar a student from attending classes and from final examinations and/or from receiving credit where unexcused absences exceed those permitted by faculty regulations."
