BSN STUDENT HANDBOOK |

Importance of Classroom Socialization |
Faculty have
a commitment to the nursing profession and the next generation of nurses
and expect professional demeanor and accountability in student
development. Thus, we believe that classroom behavior is as important as
clinical behavior and we have expectations that students will
demonstrate
professional behavior in interactions with faculty, staff, peers, and
agencies. |
|
Attendance |
Course work mandates classroom/online attendance and active participation by students. Attendance may be taken during class. The nursing faculty shall inform students, in writing, of any special attendance requirements at the beginning of the semester. See University Undergraduate Catalog title: Class Attendance http://www.uta.edu/catalog and the course syllabus for specific details/regulations for each course. Also see clinical requirements for specific information on absence from a clinical. |

Missing an Exam Students are expected to take examinations at the time scheduled. A student who is absent from an examination because of illness or other emergency should contact the lead teacher or faculty for permission to postpone the examination prior to the examination. Students should refer to the individual course syllabus for specific details/regulations for each course. | |
