The right to take examinations, as well as the privilege of continuing as a student in the School of Law, is conditioned on regular attendance and satisfactory participation in class work. Unsatisfactory attendance or unsatisfactory classroom performance may result in lowering of your final grade for the course, involuntary withdrawal from the course, failing the course, or other resolution.

In two-, three-, or four-hour courses, three absences will be permitted each semester. In one-hour courses, only two absences will be permitted each semester.

Notwithstanding the above general rule: (1) in courses that meet only once a week, a student may have no more than two absences; and (2) no more than three absences will be permitted for the year in Basic Legal Skills. Basic Legal Skills (BLS) is a three-hour course spread over two semesters.

There are no excused absences, except as provided by University policy. When a student has three absences (or two in an one-hour course), the Professor will notify the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs who will take appropriate action.
In a course where a professor cancels and reschedules more than one class, a student should not be counted as absent if he or she does not attend the rescheduled classes.
