Students who are registered 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. Instructors will generally only exclude students through the

census date for non-attendance. It is the student’s responsibility to drop

classes in time to avoid fees and/or grades of “W”.

Students who, because of mitigating circumstances, are unable to attend

the first-class meeting should leave a voice mail message or email for the

faculty member. This, however, does not guarantee students a seat in the

class if they do not attend the first-class meeting.
