I'm new to the group and am interested in any replies to Lisa's inquiry. I would
like to receive information on this subject.
We have a college-wide attendance policy of withdrawal after missing two weeks
worth of classes, but there is argument over when the two weeks should begin.
We also have a two week drop/add period and many start counting after this
drop/add, allowing students to miss four weeks before dropping them.
I would like to hear how you handle attendance coupled with drop/add.
