A student who registers for a class but who has not attended the first two consecutive class meetings and does not notify the course instructor why he/she is absent, may be reported by the instructor to the Office of the Registrar as “not attending” and the student’s name may be removed from the class roster. The available seat may then be given to another student. This applies to all terms including summer.
A student who registers for a one-day-a-week class and does not notify the course instructor why he/she is absent for the first class period, may be reported by the instructor to the Office of the Registrar as “not attending” and the student’s name may be removed from the class roster. The available seat may then be given to another student.
When the name of a non-attending student is removed from a class roster, the student will be emailed an updated schedule. The instructor and the student’s advisor will also be notified by email that the student’s name has been deleted from a roster.
Beginning the second week of classes and through the end of the fourth week of classes, the faculty may forward to the Office of the Registrar the names of students who have a pattern of unexcused absences as defined in the course syllabus. By direction of the instructor, these students will be administratively dropped from the appropriate course roster.
This policy is in effect for the first twenty (20) business days of the fall and spring semesters, the first (3) business days of summer terms, and for the first day of the May term.
Students are expected to manage their own registration, and the financial and academic consequences for failing to drop a class shall remain in effect despite a student’s original intent.
