(https: //www. smu. edu/Student. Affairs/Chaplainand. Religious. Life/Religious. Holiday s). Excused Absences for University Extracurricular Activities: Students participating in an officially sanctioned, scheduled University extracurricular activity should be given the opportunity to make up class assignments or other graded assignments missed as a result of their participation.

(See 2020 -2021 SMU Undergraduate Catalog under “Enrollment and Academic Records/Enrollment Policies/Excused Absences. ”).

COVID-19 Special Instructions (1) l Zoom camera expectations: For virtual class attendance, cameras should be turned on with faces clearly in view. If students are not clearly in view on the screen when attending via Zoom, they will be counted absent, and the participation grade will be impacted. If students have a technological issue that complicates participation, or if there is a specific reason to have the camera off, students must notify the instructor as soon as these issues occur to develop an alternative arrangement. 13

COVID-19 Special Instructions (2) l l Access to recordings. Per SMU requirements, recordings of synchronous classes will be made available as accommodations in the following situations: a) when students must be absent due to COVID-related issues, b) when international students live in time zones that make synchronous participation challenging, and c) when students experience bandwidth or other technology-related issues that could impede access to class. Students in these situations must request the recording in a timely manner. In this class, students must make the request within 72 hours of missing class for the above reasons. If students have a compelling reason for not being able to make such a timely request, they must provide an explanation in writing. 14
