Attend Classes

You must be at the first class meeting! Attendance at the first class meeting is required. If you do not attend the first class meeting, or if you are more than 30 minutes late, the instructor has the option to drop you from class to accommodate students on waiting lists. However, it is the responsibility of the student to officially drop classes in which he/she no longer wishes to be enrolled. If a class is not dropped within the first two weeks of the Fall, Winter or Spring quarters, you will be charged for the class and may receive a failing (F) grade.
