ATTENDANCE POLICY
A student may miss fewer than two classes without penalty. A student who misses three or more classes that he/she does not make up will have his/her grade lowered by one letter grade.

CALCULUS LAB MAKEUP POLICY
A student who misses a calculus lab should discuss with his/her instructor the possibility of making up the class. If the instructor agrees to allow a makeup class the student should arrange in advance with an instructor of another section to allow him/her to attend class as a makeup student. That instructor is under no obligation to allow makeup students to attend class and will make his/her decision upon the merits of the situation and the space, equipment, and time available to handle this extra responsibility. Calculus Lab Makeup forms will be provided when necessary.
The course syllabus provides a general plan for the course; deviations may be necessary.
