Class Attendance Class Attendance Students are expected to attend classes regularly. While perfect class attendance may not be required, you would be wise to attend as many classes as possible, especially during the first year. You can learn a great deal from classroom discussion, including your professor's approach to the assignment material. Without regular attendance, you also are unable to gauge your own development.
Some professors keep attendance records, which they consider if a student has a borderline grade.
You should learn the attendance policy followed by each professor.
