In addition, tardiness may be counted as an absence. If a student must enter the classroom after class has begun, please do so as quietly as possible. Each student is responsible for lectures missed due to absences. Thus, it is suggested that each student secures lecture notes from a student who attended the class. University regulations will be followed for any situation that involves both attendance and plagiarism.
