Attendance Policy: Students in Learning Support courses are expected to attend all class meetings. There are no "excused" absences in Learning Support courses. There may be a time when you have to be absent because of an emergency (illness or some "catastrophe"). In that case, you are responsible for finding out what went on in class and making up the work (this day will still count as an absence). More than 6 absences for any reason result in an automatic F in the course. Failure to appear in class for at least 80% of the class period will constitute an absence.
