*You must participate in class activities, which means you must be in class. That said, you have 3 "free"absences to use for emergencies, minor illnesses, being stranded off campus by a snow storm, and the like. You need not explain these absences, but you should spend them wisely. Each additional unexcused absence will lower your class performance grade by one-half grade. Excused absences are for :

1. A required, college sponsored activity such as travel for a sports team or a choir performance, or class trip. You must inform your professor ahead of time and confer about make-up work.
2. Extended or severe sickness, if you have a note from the health service.
3. Other emergencies, if sanctioned by the Dean of the College or the Dean of Academic Studies.

If you must miss a class, be sure to re-read thoroughly the assigned lessons, and consult with a member of the class concerning what you missed (including translations, explanations of grammar, and assignments). If you have lingering questions, please bring them to office hours—or suggest a time for an appointment.
