Attendance is compulsory in all courses, including any or all laboratory sessions, lectures, and required class meetings. If a student has accumulated unex­cused absences that amount to more than 20% of the total number of class contact hours (9 classes for a 2-course/week or 3 credit course), he/she may be dropped from the course automatically with a grade of W. If such a lack of attendance occurs in more than one course, a student may be suspended from the College without warning and may lose the right to reside in the dormitory.
