Math 246 Attendance and Drop Policies, Fall 2016

Attendance (30 September version)

Attendance will be taken in every class until 8 September (the last day to add courses is 12 September). If you have an unexcused absence during this period and if there is a waiting list for the class then you risk being administratively dropped. (The more recently that you have attended, the less likely that you will be dropped.) Because waiting lists typically vanish by 12 September, it is rare that anyone is administratively dropped.

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

The University Class Attendance Policy can be found on the Office of Undergraduate Studies website.
