follows:
Whenever absences (in hours) exceed the number
of hours class meets per week, the instructor shall exclude the student from
the class. The instructor may make exceptions for absence due to illness and/or
emergency, provided such reason for the absence is made known to instructor on
a timely basis. However, it is the responsibility of the student to inquire
from classmates or from the instructor what he/she missed during the absence
and study the missed lesson. Absence will not excuse students from matters discussed
including missed tests.
Attendance will be taken at the start of each
class. Late arrivals should notify the instructor at the end of the class.
Failure on the part of the students to do so will result in an absence for that
class period. Three cases of tardiness may be considered equivalent to one
absence.

leave the class before the end of the period, he/she should let the instructor
know of such intent before the start of the period. Failure to do so will
result in an absence.
