Class Attendance

Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes and to satisfy all course requirements within the time limits established by their professors, unless prevented from doing so by extraordinary circumstances such as serious illness or unavoidable travel. A professor who deems that a student has been excessively absent during the first half of the semester may recommend that the student withdraw from the course. If students have been excessively absent throughout the entire semester, the professor may withhold permission to take the final examination and, depending on the students’ academic performance, assign a grade of F or FA (failure due to absence).
