Failure for Non-Attendance Policy

Students who begin a course, but at some point, in the semester cease attending, and do not provide official notification to withdraw, will be assigned a grade of "FN" (Failure for Non-Attendance), dated to the student's last date of attendance (based on the definition provided below). A grade of "FN" will be assigned when a student stops attending and/or participating in a class for a period of 25% of the term or longer as measured in calendar days. An "FN" indicates that the student ceased attendance and failed to complete the course objectives. If a student receives all FN's (or failing grades) in a term, he/she is subject to the Unofficial Withdrawal procedure at the end of the term that includes the reduction and/or return of all financial aid. Students are fully responsible for all resulting charges on their student account.

Students receiving all F's or FNs in a term who are currently on probation must appeal to financial aid to receive aid in their next term of enrollment if these grades move the student to a suspension status.
