Milwaukee School of Engineering expects all students to attend regularly and promptly all lectures, laboratories, and other sessions of courses for which they are registered. It is the student's responsibility to add and drop classes from his or her academic schedule.
Faculty members have the option of developing a policy concerning grade reduction or dropping students from excessive absence from class. Any policy of this nature must be announced to the student during the first week of class and must be made available in writing upon request. A student dropped under such a policy must obtain written permission from the instructor to re-enter class. The instructor must inform the Registrar's Office if any student is re-admitted to class. Laboratory and examination attendance is mandatory. In the event of an excused absence, arrangements shall be made with the instructor in advance for make-up.
Excused absence for a field trip or other college sponsored activity requires one week advance written notice with the approval of the chief academic officer.
