Attendance:

After registering for this class, be sure to log-in and out (using Palomar ID number) each time you attend

the Math Center.

the semester. However, if you finish the course material in less than 72 hours, the attendance requirement

will be waived for the remainder of the semester.

If you are taking this class under the assumption that you do not need to attend the Math Center except for

exams, this is wrong, and you could be dropped for non-attendance.

If you decide to withdraw from the course, be sure to drop the class on e-Services. Do not expect the Math

Center Director to automatically drop you from the course.

If for some compelling reason you are absent, please inform the Math Center Director. Otherwise, you

could be dropped for non-attendance.

You may also receive attendance credit for working on course materials in MyMathLab at either Academic

Technology Lab, TLC/Escondido Center, or Camp Pendleton Computer Lab.

All written exams must be taken at the Math Center on San Marcos Campus.
