Chapel and Conference Makeups
Due to the central and significant nature of Chapel, attendance is required of all students. Chapel and conference sessions are viewed in the same light as required academic classes.
In consideration of illness, misplaced/lost ID cards, occasional irresolvable time conflicts, or tardiness, some of the mandatory requirement may be "made up" by listening to recordings of previous Chapel sessions. These recordings are listed below; no other Chapel recordings may be used as makeups.
Additional info on Chapel requirements and policies can be found here.
UPDATE 11/6/09: Torrey Conference attendance must be made up via mp3s of this year's Torrey Conference. Those recordings are at the bottom of this page.
