[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Attendance apologies around COVID are set by the university and I can’t fathom a school not allowing a student to opt into DL. Clarity around this isn’t great right now and I’m finding students think they have to come in when actually they don’t and I won’t be teaching in person 90% of the time. 
Can your child just directly ask the department chair if there is a policy in the works for opting into distance learning? That would be an appropriate person to ask (the Professor doesn’t set this at a department-level) and [b]in college “Dean of Students” isn’t a thing.[/b] [/quote]

:shock:

Maybe not for some community colleges, or maybe you are not familiar with any major universities?

Princeton: https://odus.princeton.edu/
Stanford: https://deanofstudents.stanford.edu/
UMichigan: https://deanofstudents.umich.edu/

Right, and if not at a college where would a Dean of Students be? Secondary schools, at least public ones, usually have principals and assistant principals, not deans.[/quote]
