Attendance

Students are expected to attend classes and to complete assignments as required by the instructor. They should expect their academic progress to suffer if they miss classes. Faculty are required to verify student attendance each semester. If a faculty member reports that a student did not attend or participate during the add/drop period, the student will receive an email outlining the required next steps and the potential academic and financial consequences of not taking any action. Students must either begin attending/participating or officially drop the course by the published deadlines. During the grading period, faculty will assign a grade of NS (No Show) to any student who never attended/participated and who subsequently failed to officially drop or withdraw from the course. Please note that tuition and fees still apply to courses in which an NS grade is recorded. Courses for which a student has been reported as not attended are not eligible for financial aid and federal and state aid will be adjusted. Please see catalog.colum.edu for more information.
