- Students have three 'free' absences. Starting with the fourth absence, and for every absence thereafter, 100 points will be deducted from students' point totals. (I.e., four absences = -100 points, five absences = -200 points, etc.)
- The Undergraduate Catalog states here that "Responsibility for class attendance rests with the student. Regular and punctual attendance of all scheduled classes is expected... Students reported as not attending classes may be responsible for returning financial aid disbursed to them for any class(es) the student is not attending."
- You are responsible for completing all assigned work whether you attend a particular class meeting or not.
- If you are absent, DO NOT email and ask "What did I miss?" Instead, you should make an appointment to meet with me - I am not able to review an entire class meeting's activities via email.
