Absences of each student are recorded without exception. The counting of absences begins on the first day of class.  A student absent the equivalent of two weeks of instruction in a 16-week semester may be dropped by the instructor.  If a student is dropped from a class for excessive absences, the instructor will record a grade of “W’ (Withdrawal).  It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the withdrawals have been submitted.
