Class Attendance One of the duties of the office of Dean of Men is to supervise the class attendance of the undergraduate men of the University. Absences are reported daily by the class instructors and are recorded. When the absences of any member of the freshman or sophomore classes aggregate one-eighth of the whole number of semester recitations in a course, excepting in cases of military and physical training, such student is dropped from that course. A junior, when absent one-fifth of the total number of recitations in a course, is dropped. When dropped, the student can be reinstated only by getting the consent of his instructor and of the Committee on Attendance. If he is not reinstated, he receives a failure in the course at the end of the semester. N o student will be allowed to withdraw from a course by the simple method of remaining away from class; if he does this he will make himself liable to discipline by the dean of his college. If you must be absent from class for a prolonged period or if you wish to leave town, you should get an excuse from the office of the Dean of Men.
