b. Instructors shall state in each course syllabus what constitutes excessive absence for that course.
3. Excused vs. Unexcused absences
a. Unless state or federal law requires that the absence be deemed excused, no instructor shall be required to make a distinction between excused and unexcused absences.

4. Nonattendance
