All registered students are expected to attend classes regularly. Attendance is critical for individual student success and class participation that cannot be re-created outside the classroom.

Class attendance on the first scheduled day of a semester is especially important. If a student cannot attend the first class, the student should contact the course instructor before missing the class, or on the day of the class. If, after missing the first class, a student does not attend the second class meeting, the instructor has the right to have the student removed from the class roster during the add/drop period.

Faculty must obtain approval from the dean’s office about withdrawal for non-attendance after the add/drop period. No withdrawals may occur after the 10th week of the semester.
