Class Attendance and Withdrawal

Attendance policy Attendance policy is ordinarily established by individual faculty. Students utilizing VA educational benefits are required to attend class.  VA rules and regulations require the institution to report the student’s last date of attendance if the student is no longer attending class.  Faculty members will be contacted throughout the semester to verify attendance of students using VA educational benefits.  Failure to attend class will result in a reduction of hours certified to VA that may result in a student debt to VA.

Excessive absence policy. If a student exceeds the maximum number of absences allowed in the instructor’s attendance policy, the instructor can assign the grade of F for the course and will record the last date of attendance. The student’s failure to attend all class meetings may may result in a student debt to VA.

Absence for military duty Military reservists who are called to active duty or active duty military personnel who receive change-of-station orders or deployment orders during an academic semester may officially withdraw from the university with a full refund of matriculation fees upon providing a copy of the official orders. Those who have completed sufficient work may be awarded a grade and credit or an I (Incomplete).

Course withdrawals Students who wish to drop a course after the official schedule change period has ended must officially withdraw from the course. The student is responsible for notifying the Military Enrollment and Adult Learner Department.  Students must withdraw from courses through MyCSU. 

Administrative withdrawal An academic dean may withdraw a student from a course when, in consultation with the instructor, the dean determines that the student has not satisfied the prerequisites for the course.
