You should never assume that you will be dropped from the class simply because you are not attending lectures or not taking exams. If you wish to drop the class, you should follow the University Procedures for Changes of Schedule found in the Schedule of Classes.
You are expected (but not required) to attend every scheduled class, and to be familiar with the University Class Attendance Policy found in the General Catalog.
At all times, you are responsible for knowing every topic covered in class (whether or not it is covered in the book), for obtaining all materials distributed in class, and for knowing every change in either a homework assignment, an exam schedule, an office hour, or a course policy that is announced in class. Graded homework and exams will only be returned directly to each student.
At the same time that you withdraw from the course, you can, with the consent of the instructor, add the course for audit, in which case a grade of ``O'' is given. Such consent will not be given unless you have an average grade of ``D'' or better at the time.
