Attendance Verification

Class attendance is critical to the educational process; therefore, each student is expected to attend all lectures, seminars, laboratories and field work for each registered class, including the first class session, in order to verify registration with instructors and to complete all work assigned for the course. Failure to attend class(es) may seriously jeopardize a student’s academic standing and prevent students from attaining their academic goals.

If a student does not attend class during the two weeks (first ten instructional days) of the semester and does not give prior notification to the instructor of reasons for absence and intent to attend the class, the student will be dropped from the course.

Students who have registered for an online class can log into the University Learning Management System to confirm attendance and demonstrate active engagement in an academically-related activity, such as contributing to an online discussion or initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a course-related question.

It is the responsibility of the student to withdraw from the university or drop a course.
