Class Cancellation by Faculty
It is a faculty member's responsibility to meet all classes as scheduled and to arrive on time for all classes. If a faculty member knows in advance that he or she will be unable to attend a scheduled class or if a sudden emergency prevents the faculty member from getting to class, he/she should notify the Office of Academic Affairs and, if possible, arrange for an alternate means of instruction (e.g., a lecture by another qualified instructor, a videotape or film, etc.). When alternative instruction is not feasible, the class should be rescheduled. Simply informing students by email or via Angel that a class is cancelled is not permitted; the Academic Affairs Office or the divisional support staff and Division Head should be contacted.
Faculty members may NOT independently cancel classes, nor may they terminate a class before the scheduled end of the semester. Cancellations incorporated into syllabi must also be reported to the Academic Affairs Office and Division Head prior to the cancellation date.
