By Wes Waldorf
/Vccording to the 2001-2002 Cat
alog, the policy states:
Each professor will prepare class
attendance requirements ;uul will
distribute these in writing to the
students ;uid to tlie vice president
and dean of academics at the begin
ning of each semester. It will be
the responsibility of the professor
to enforce the regulations and to
include die mamier of enforcement
hi the written description.
Students on academic or final
probation shall have no more th;ui
three absences (excused ;uid unex-
cu.sed) in any course.
Students who miss more th;ui
twenty percent of the classes in
any course may be dropped with a
grade of “F’ for tliat course.
Fhese are the main points dis-
cus.scti in the current catalog, and
will remain the same for next year
(2002-2003). Next semester (Fall
2002) the current policy will be
in effect; however the policy will
be stated differently in the catalog.
The only change will be how the
