Attendance
Regular and punctual attendance is required.
The following chart shows the 80 percent attendance rule. In most semesters, there are 14 class meetings per semester on each day.
| Number of meetings | Attend | Absent | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 per week | 12 | 2 | 14 |
| 2 per week | 23 | 5 | 28 |
| 3 per week | 34 | 8 | 42 |
| 4 per week | 45 | 11 | 56 |
Attend = minimum number of classes that must be attended
Absent = maximum number of classes able to be skipped
Total = total number of class meetings in the semester
Failure to attend 80% of classes could result in students not being allowed to sit for exams in the overcut class. Excessive absences will result in a grade of UW. Students who receive notice of not being able to sit for a given exam can petition the Petitions Committee. Upon a showing of compelling hardship and in exceptional circumstances, the petitions committee may relieve a student of the attendance requirement or give NO relief, in its discretion.
