your grade. All Students must sign-in
each class period. The instructor

each additional two days of class missed unless prior special arrangements
are made with the instructor. To
clarify the attendance policy, you should be aware of the following: Class
attendance is MANDITORY. This is the time when the instructor can assist
you in learning the correct techniques.

readmit fee of $350.00 will be charged. If
a student drops below full-time status of 12 hours, financial aid may be adversely
affected. Resident students dropping below 12 hours will be asked to move out of campus housing. NOTE: If you want to drop or withdraw
from a class see your advisor. Do not
count on this policy to automatically withdraw you.
