Attendance

Prompt and regular class attendance, with preparation adequate for full class participation, is expected of all students. Students are prohibited from sitting for the final exam or otherwise receiving a passing grade in any course for which that student has attended fewer than 80 percent of the scheduled class sessions. Specifically, a student missing 20 percent or more of the total scheduled class hours in a course, whether due to excused or unexcused absences, is presumed to not be attending regularly, subject to the discretion of the dean. In the event that a student is deemed to not be attending regularly, the dean shall determine whether the student receives a W or an F in the course. For further attendance information, please see Law School Rules, Regulations, and Policies.
