Things to Remember…

• Monitor your class attendance by checking your class roster for the first several weeks (until the census date)

• Students attending your class should be officially enrolled and appear on your class roster

• Students who are not officially enrolled should be directed to the academic dean with documentation of mitigating circumstances or student services for alternative enrollment
