Under CUNY mandate, attendance in EACH class is REQUIRED and attendance WILL be taken at each class meeting. You are allowed a MAXIMUM of 3 absences. If you exceed that number, you may receive a WU grade. EXCESSIVE LATENESS (more than 5 minutes) will be considered to be an absence from that class meeting. Attendance will be taken at the start of each class and lab session and factored into the final grade. It is understood that sometimes things happen and a student will not be penalized if the student has an excused absence (such as a medical excuse) or if one has less than 3 unexcused absences.
