Math 410 Attendance and Drop Policies
Fall 2005


Attendance

Attendance will be taken through 12 September (the last day to add courses is 14 September). If you have three or more unexcused absences during this period then you risk being administratively dropped from the class, but may not be.

You should never assume that you will be dropped from the class simply because you are not attending lectures or not taking exams. If you wish to drop the class, you should follow the University Procedures, which are outlined under ``Drop'' below.

You are expected (but not required) to attend every scheduled class. At all times, you are responsible for knowing every topic covered in class (whether or not it is covered in the books), for obtaining all materials distributed in class, and for knowing every change in either a homework assignment, an exam schedule, an office hour, or a course policy that is announced in class. Graded homeworks, projects, and exams will only be returned directly to each student.

Drop

If you are enrolled in this course for credit then you must drop it before the close of business on 14 September if you desire a complete deletion of enrollment from your record. This can be done either After 14 September you may drop this course with a grade of ``W'' until 9 November . After 9 November you may not drop this course.
