FIRST DAY ATTENDANCEThe first day attendance policy allows faculty to remove you from a course if you do not attend the first class session and do not provide notice to the faculty member or department secretary. This also applies to the first class after you add a course during schedule adjustment.If you are dropped from a course for not attending the first class, you may only reschedule it if it remains open during schedule adjustment. Even if you do not attend the first class, you are still responsible for dropping the course during schedule adjustment. Otherwise, you may remain scheduled for the course and receive a grade of “F” if you do not attend. You may also be charged for the course.
