Wanted to highlight the college’s grading policy, particularly as it applies to students who do not show up in class.
No Show: Students who do not attend the first class meeting of a course and who do not contact the instructor within two working days following the first class with a satisfactory explanation for their absence will be assigned a “NS” grade and their seat will be forfeited.
