Class Attendance

Upon registration, students accept responsibility for attending classes and completing course work. It is your responsibility to ascertain the policies of instructors with regard to absence from class, and to make arrangements satisfactory to instructors with regard to incomplete course work. Although absence from class does not constitute dropping a class or withdrawing from the University, faculty have the authority to request the removal of students who fail to meet attendance requirements. It is particularly important to attend the first meeting of a class. Failure to attend the first session could result in your place being assigned to another student.

However, failure to attend the first session of a course does not necessarily mean that you have been withdrawn from it. If you wish to withdraw from a course, and possibly qualify for a reduction of tuition and fees, you must formally withdraw from the course at the Service Center. Failure to complete a program change or withdrawal form may result in your being assigned a failing grade and remaining liable for full tuition and fees.
