To avoid being dropped from class, students should contact the instructor when they are absent for emergency reasons. Students who are preregistered in a class and miss the first meeting may lose their right to a place in the class, but the instructor may consider special circumstances. Whenever students are absent more hours than the number of hours the class meets per week, the instructor may drop them from class. In addition, the instructor will consider whether there are mitigating circumstances which may justify the absences. If the instructor determines that such circumstances do not exist, the instructor may exclude a student from the class.
Students are responsible for officially dropping a class that they stop attending.
See section Adding and Dropping. Instructor Notification Policy Students should notify the instructor by U.S. mail, or place a notice in the Student to Faculty Box found outside the Faculty Mailroom, AD 101 regarding absences. Students also may inform the instructor regarding their absences upon return to the class. Students may repeat the same course ONLY ONCE for this purpose. Upon completion of a course repetition, the most recent grade earned will be computed in the cumulative grade point average and students academic record so annotated.
