ARE YOU ABSENT?
Professors are in the process of verifying rosters and making sure the correct students are in their classes. Students who have NOT been attending class could be de-registered!

Students who are not attending and de-registered could have an impact on financial aid, housing status, veteran benefits, etc. Please make sure you're speaking with Academic Advising, Navigation Center, Residence Life, and Veteran's Affairs if there may be an impact.

Attend class. Communicate if there is a problem. Read your syllabus to understand each separate course's attending requirement and impact on not attending.

GO. TO. CLASS!
Professors are verifying their class rosters over the next few weeks. Make sure you are attending now and all semester. Not attending could mean that your professor submits your name for administrative removal from the course. Don't let that happen.

Let them know "I'M HERE!" (Also, going to class means you'll do better by the end of the semester!)
