ISU Course Attendance Policy

Students are responsible for their registration activity. If a student is unable or unwilling to attend any or all classes they have registered for, they must drop or withdraw from their coursework using their MyISU account.

Notes:

Course instructors have the authority to drop registered students from courses during the first week of class for non-attendance.
An instructor may also assign a student an "X" (failing grade for non-attendance) grade as a final grade if a student has not attended/participated in class or does not meet the attendance policy established in the course syllabus.
Go to View full course policies for additional information.
