Attendance Policy

The policy on attendance for university classes will be the responsibility of the professor, and the professor will fully inform students of such policy at the beginning of the semester via the course syllabus.

The faculty and staff at Florida National University want students to succeed. Since research studies indicate a positive relationship between good attendance and better grades, students are strongly encouraged to attend all classes and arrive on time.

*Individual instructors establish their own class attendance policies. Each instructor’s policy is included in the course syllabus and distributed at the beginning of each semester.

*It is the student’s responsibility to understand and follow these policies and, if possible, to notify instructors in advance when it is necessary to miss a class.

*Any anticipated prolonged absences should be reported to instructors as soon as possible.

*If a student stops attending class(es) for any reason, they must consult with the instructor(s) and registrar about possible withdrawal from the class(es).
