Instructors may drop from their course any student who is registered for the course and not present during the first scheduled meeting. If a student cannot be present at the first class session, he/she must make arrangements with the instructor prior to the first class meeting in order to maintain a place in the course. Students should complete the drop/add procedure for all schedule adjustments they wish to make.
