In addition, students who miss two consecutive classes without an excuse will also be withdrawn from the course. Students may appeal withdrawal for nonattendance, but approval of appeals is at the discretion of the instructor. See the Catalog for further information and the Course Schedule for deadlines. Tardiness disrupts the class and is also discouraged. Any student arriving after the instructor has finished calling the roll may be considered tardy, and two incidents of unexcused tardiness count as one unexcused absence.
Attendance is taken at the beginning of each class.
Any student not present when roll is taken is considered absent . Students who arrive late should speak to the instructor at the end of class to ensure that they are marked tardy rather than absent. If the instructor uses a seating chart , students are required to sit in their assigned seats unless given permission to sit elsewhere. Failure to sit in one's assigned seat may cause the instructor to mark the student absent. Students are expected to remain in class until they are dismissed, unless they have received prior permission from the instructor to leave early.
