Graduate Attendance Policy
The necessity of attending all classes is self-evident, and students who miss class sessions generally find it harder to attain a grade of B- or higher. This is particularly so in half-semester courses which, for the benefit of all participants, have an Attendance Policy of no absences. Students who miss important classwork may be advised to withdraw from these courses.
