The Administrative Regulation states that if a student has excused absences for the dates and times associated with more than one-fifth of the required interactions for a course, the student shall have the right to receive a "W", or the Instructor of Record may award an “I” for the course if the student declines to receive a “W.”
Excused and unexcused absences cannot be combined to meet the over 20% threshold.
Unexcused absences are handled by the policy listed in the course syllabus and provided to the students by the third day of Fall and Spring Semesters, or, for compressed courses and courses in Summer and Winter Intersessions, by the first day of the course.
