Truman’s public liberal arts mission and vision embrace the importance of transformational learning opportunities in both the curricular and co-curricular realms. It is inevitable conflicts will arise between those curricular and co-curricular experiences. 像这样, 这所大学要求学生参加所有的课程, 然而认识到课外机会可能导致缺课. 教师, 学生, and staff have the responsibility to support an environment that upholds the integrity of a Truman education and 学生’ ability to experience a diversity of educational experiences.
To facilitate reasonable handling of class absences, this policy outlines what is considered a 批准的缺席 以及学生、教师和课外活动组织者的责任.
