Procedural Information
Procedures
Students who do not attend within the first week of a sub-term by submitting an assignment that can receive a grade (such as the Course Requirements Checklist, an examination, written paper or project, or other academic event activity) will be dropped from the course. Students who wish to re-engage in the course are encouraged to contact Academic Advising to discuss their enrollment options.
The student alone assumes responsibility for course work missed from non-attendance. A student who presents the instructor with an adequate and documented reason for absence may be given an opportunity to make up the work missed.
