Undergraduate Policy on In-Person Arrival and Course Engagement
The start of the term is a crucial time for students to learn about course expectations and to familiarize themselves with the structure of their classes. It is also a valuable time to meet classmates and get to know instructors. In addition, early and regular course attendance is vital to achieving optimal learning outcomes.
Therefore, undergraduate students enrolled in courses with in-person class meetings are expected to be on campus and in attendance at the start of classes and must plan to remain until the end of the quarter. Note in some cases, students must attend the first class meeting to avoid being dropped. This will be clearly identified in CAESAR and the syllabus.
Students who do not arrive by the end of the add period (the end of the fifth day of classes) may be administratively withdrawn from a term or dropped or withdrawn from individual course(s).
If exceptional circumstances arise during the quarter that require a student to be off campus for more than a week, students are expected to speak with their school adviser about reducing their course load or withdrawing from the term.
