syllabi at the beginning of the semester. Students are responsible
for reading and understanding these requirements for each course,
whether they are general education or technical courses.
The faculty will recognize only the following as legitimate excuses
for absence:
* Death in the immediate family
* Hospitalization
* Illness verified by a doctor's excuse indicating the nature of
the illness and type of medication prescribed
* College activities as approved by the vice president for
academic affairs or director of student services

at Thaddeus Stevens College, advisory committees undertake
an essential role in technical program review and development,
equipment purchases, student recruitment, and student job
placement. Advisory committees gather at least twice a year;
minutes of these meetings are kept on file in the Office of Academic
Affairs. Members of advisory committees include instructors,
administrators, business owners, professional and technical
employees, and representatives of industry and labor.

Changes to Catalog and Curriculum

The provisions and conditions of this catalog are not to be
considered an irrevocable contract between the student and
Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology. The College reserves
the right to change any fees, requirements, and/ or regulations
at any time during the student's term of enrollment. Approved
curriculum changes may be implemented the semester following
approval, provided they do not impact unfairly on the student.
