ATTENDANCE ACCORDING TO THE CATALOGUE 2015The student is expected to attend every meeting of all classes for which he or she is registered. A student absent from classes for emergency reasons must inform his or her instructor of the reason for the absence. Students who have preregistered for a class and who do not attend the first meeting of the class may forfeit their right to a place in the class. Students should call the instructor’s office to inform the instructor of the circumstances related to the absence. The instructor will then decide if the reasons provided for the absence are appropriate for allowing the student to remain in class. Mitigating circumstances may be consider by the instructor. Whenever absences “in hours” exceeds the number of hours the class meets per week, the student may be excluded from class by the instructor. It is the student’s responsibility to officially dropped from any class he/she does not plan to continue to attend. Any drops or exclusions that occur between the end of the 4th week and the end of the 14th

week will result in a “W” on the student’s record. Drops are not permitted beyond the end of the 14 th

week. An evaluative grade (“A,” “B,” “C,” “D,“ “F,” “P,” or “NP,”)will be assigned to the students who are enrolled past the end of the 14th week.
