Attendance:

Note that your student catalog states that you are expected to attend class and are responsible for the academic consequences of absence. Furthermore, you are responsible for all requirements of the course regardless of absence. The catalog states:

“If your absences total more than 25% in any course, you will receive a grade of N, F or U, whichever is appropriate; if your enrollment in the course continues after the date for withdrawal, with an automatic N, and your level of achievement is equivalent to a D or better, a grade of N will be assigned; otherwise, a grade of F will be assigned.”

For this course, 25% equals 7 absences. Beyond 7 absences, an automatic grade of F will be assigned. Be aware of your absences because this policy will be enforced. Partial attendance will be counted as a complete absence.
