Students are expected to attend and participate in all classes for which they are registered. It is also the student's responsibility to drop any and all classes for which they have never attended and/or stopped attending by the established deadlines, which includes online classes. Failure to do so will result in failing grades assigned due to non-attendance posted to the student's academic transcript. Student registration is not administratively adjusted based on the assignment of failing grades due to non-attendance, nor will tuition adjustments be made for such reasons.
Class attendance/participation is regarded as an academic matter, and the use of attendance records in grading (or for other purposes) is left to the discretion of the instructor responsible for the course. This should be explained in the course attendance policy included in the course syllabus distributed by the instructor. The instructor is responsible for handling any excuses for absences from his or her class. A student-athlete should visit the Center for Athletic Student Services for more information.
