Attendance Students are expected to attend ALL class sessions of EVERY course. In the case of unavoidable absence, the student must contact the instructor. The student is subject to appropriate academic penalty for incomplete or unacceptable makeup work, or for excessive or unexcused absences. Generally, a student who misses more than one four-hour course period (per course) without a documented excuse (such as illness) and advanced permission from the instructor should withdraw from the class. This means: You may not miss the first 2 weeks of any class and expect to continue in that class. If you have begun a class, and subsequently have 2 absences, we will call you in and you may be asked to withdraw. Your student visa status may be affected.
