The stated class hours for the didactic portion of the curriculum are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. In observance of these posted times, students and all faculty who are scheduled to teach will be expected to be present at 8:00 a.m., except when otherwise approved by the curriculum committee and the program faculty. This does not necessarily mean that faculty have no flexibility and must always begin lecturing at 8:00 a.m. Faculty have the latitude to allow students to study in their groups or work on special projects; however, that time must be defined and structured, faculty should be available to assist and facilitate students in their learning. Students will not be allowed “time off”, “comp time” or time to complete assignments intended as “homework,” or be off-campus during these class days unless approved by the Didactic Education Director and faculty as part of the syllabus.
