14.  Attendance Requirements: According to Wayland Baptist University Attendance policy, “Students enrolled at one of the University’s external campuses should make every effort to attend all class meetings.  All absences must be explained to the instructor, who will then determine whether the omitted work may be made up.  When a student reaches that number of absences considered by the instructor to be excessive, the instructor will so advise the student and file an unsatisfactory progress report with the campus dean. More than 3 absentees per semester will result in receiving a grade of   F in the course.
