\newcommand\AttendancePolicy{Class and laboratory attendance for first-year students is mandatory. A first-year student will receive a grade of "Y" (failure) whenever the number of unexcused absences in a course exceeds twice the number of weekly class meetings for the course.
State here if attendance is mandatory or not for your class. Provide a description of what it means to be present (seated and ready to go, just in the room, camera on if virtual, be explicit).\\
Where possible, students should inform their instructors if they plan to be late or absent from class. In all cases, students should be prepared to provide documentation to petition for excused absences to the Associate Dean for Student and Strategic Programs, Dr. Stephen Jones. Students should use the form for requesting an excused absence. Excused absences do not count toward a failure in the course for first year students. Absence from class does not release the student from work assigned. Students who miss an in-class obligation (exam, presentation, etc.) due to an excused absence will not be penalized - the instructor may offer a make-up test, arrange an alternative time for a presentation, exempt a student from the assignment, or provide another arrangement. In the case of illness or injury, the form must be submitted within 24 hours of missing class.\\
The University’s list of excused absences for all students includes the following:\\
•	participation in NCAA athletic competitions\\
•	participation in special academic events (e.g., conferences, field trips, project competitions)\\
•	participation in official university business (e.g., student representatives attending meetings related to university governance)\\
•	attendance at significant events involving the immediate family (e.g., funerals, weddings)\\
•	religious holidays - see the University’s policy on Religious Holidays\\
•	college-approved participation in placement activities (e.g., job interviews, graduate school interviews, attending job fairs)\\
•	legally required absence (jury duty, court appearance, short-term military service)\\
•	documented serious illness, such as COVID, or disability\\

\newcommand\ElectronicsPolicy{\textcolor{red}{Since you opted for a customize electronics policy, you should edit this part. Your policy should address your general stance on recording of class sessions and the circumstances under which recording will be allowed or prohibited. If you generally prohibit recording, yet allow recording of certain classes for some reason, then you should notify all students that those classes will be recorded. If recording is permitted as an ADA accommodation for a student, you obviously should not identify that student(s).}}
