Class Participation and Engagement
Students receive the tentative schedule of classes for the entire program when a new cohort begins. Students must maintain flexibility in schedules to allow for possible changes in dates of courses including but not limited to University schedule changes and inclement weather closures. An absence due to schedule changes is still considered an absence as explained in the attendance policy.
Trevecca's adult education and graduate programs are highly concentrated, and weekly participation and engagement are important prerequisites for student success in coursework and personal and small group relationships within class sessions.
While weekly class attendance is not required, each student must start the course and establish course eligibility by the end of Day Seven of Week One by participating in an academically-related activity specific to the course, such as attending a face-to-face class session or synchronous course activity, submitting an academic assignment, taking an assessment or exam, participating in an interactive tutorial, webinar, or computer-assisted instruction, participating in a university-assigned study group or group project, participating in an online discussion assigned by the instructor, or initiating interaction with the instructor about academic matters. Students who fail to engage in the course in one or more of these avenues within the first seven days of the course will be automatically dropped from the course.
