Submission of the administrative withdrawal form as soon as the decision is made to assign a W or F grade for non-attendance will greatly assist in timely reporting. Policy - All students are expected to be present and on time at all scheduled class and laboratory meetings. Instructors are not required to admit a student who arrives late to the classroom. A student who adds a class or registers after the first day of classes is counted absent from all class meetings missed. Although a student may be allowed some absences in each semester, the student should be advised not to use these except for emergencies.
Absences have adverse effects on student achievement.
The student is responsible for determining and making up all work missed. Each instructor is responsible for keeping a record of the student's attendance in each class. When a student's absences in a course equal the number of weekly class sessions of that course, the student may be warned by the instructor that the student's standing in that class is in danger. When an instructor determines that absences constitute unsatisfactory attendance, a Faculty Withdrawal Form may be completed and submitted to the Admissions and Records Office. The last date of attendance must be documented.
