Policies & Procedures
Upon registration, students accept the responsibility for attending classes and completing course work. It is the responsibility of students to ascertain the policies of instructors with regard to absence from class, and to make arrangements satisfactory to instructors with regard to missed course work. Students should understand that it is particularly important to attend the first meeting of a course. Failure to attend the first session of a course may result in the student's place in class being assigned to another student.
[EFFECTIVE FALL 1997 THE FOLLOWING IS ADDED]
The Registrar, in consultation with the faculty member involved, reserves the right to withdraw administratively an undergraduate student from a course because of excessive absences, provided that the number of absences causing this type of withdrawal from the course is stipulated in the course syllabus. The student will receive the grade WR (withdrawal by the Registrar) for the administrative withdrawal during weeks 3 - 10 (weeks 3 - 5 during Summer Term), and will receive the grade UW for administrative withdrawal after week 10 (after week 6 during Summer Term). The student will have no entry on the transcript for administrative withdrawal prior to week 3. Students may appeal being withdrawn administratively from the course to the dean of the school or college in which the course is offered within seven (7) calendar days of notification being sent by the Registrar of their removal from the course.
