Failure to attend class is ex cused in cases when there is a case of prolonged sickness of the stu dent, marriage, birth, death, or serious illness in the immediate family. No absences for student's illness will be excused when less than two consecutive class days are missed. Absences incurred while repre senting the university in any au thorized activity are considered ex cusable, whether for more or less than two days in duration.
