Attendance/Participation:

You have 3 excused absences. No questions asked, no excuses needed. Once you miss more than your allotted 3 classes, your grade may be dropped one full letter grade. If your attendance drops below 70% by Midterm, you may be withdrawn from the class with a WF (withdraw fail).  I encourage you to meet with me before you are withdrawn from the class. If your attendance is still below 70% by the end of the semester, that is grounds for an automatic F. If you will have difficulty meeting these standards, please contact me, the Dean of Students Office and/or OARS to help you set up academic accommodations.

Late attendance will be counted as 50% of an absence.
