No Show Policy

A registered student who has failed to attend class (in person or by electronic equivalent) by the final payment deadline for the term, is considered a “no show.” The “no show” student will be administratively withdrawn and will not be reinstated unless approved by the appropriate Dean. The “no show” student is obligated to pay for all registration in effect at the end of schedule adjustment even though he/she did not attend. Proportional refund will be made to students who are a “no show” in all classes. No refund is made to a student who has a “no show” in one or more classes, but has attended other classes.

No Show Reinstatement Instructions:

  • If you believe an error was made by your instructor; please contact the instructor directly to resolve the no-show.
  • If you did not attend class and would like to appeal for reinstatement, please take the following action:
    • Contact the Dean of your major.
