reduced by 1 letter grade. If 3
unexcused absences are received, the student's final grade becomes an
automatic "F". The student may request a withdraw from the course
prior to the last day to withdraw.
Withdrawal:
If a student withdraws
from this course by the last day for automatic withdrawal, he/she will earn a
“W”. This does not affect the

If
a student wishes to withdrawal, the STUDENT must request a withdrawal
from the instructor. This request
