Attendance

 The university expects students to attend all classes in which they are enrolled. University policy allows an instructor to refuse a student admission to class because of lateness, misconduct, inattention, or failure to meet the responsibilities of the course. According to the UVic calendar, students who neglect their academic work, including assignments, may be refused permission to write the final examination in a course.

If you miss more than 25% of scheduled class sessions - that is, six sessions in a class that meets twice a week or nine sessions in a class that meets three times a week - for any reason, you will not be permitted to complete the final assessment for an ATWP course without an academic concession.

Class attendance during the add/drop period

Students registered in AWR-designated courses will be dropped from their class section during the semester add/drop period (first two weeks of classes) if they do not attend class or contact their instructor with a suitable explanation for their absence.

AWR-designated classes always fill and have long waitlists. Non-attending registered students will be dropped to make room for waitlisted students.
