Dear Faculty,
As you are aware attendance monitoring is mandatory. We must identify those students who are not meeting the University Attendance Policy and complete the Unofficial Withdrawal Form if they have ceased attendance in class or have not obtain an approved leave of absence.
To help assist with determining if a student has not met the attendance policy, use these examples as a guide:
·The student attends a MWF class and they attended class on Monday, March 19, however; the student was absent on Wednesday March 21, Friday March 23, Monday March 26, Wednesday March 28, and Friday March 30. Based on the attendance monitoring the student has violated the university attendance policy and the Unofficial Withdrawal Form should be submitted noting the student’s last day of attendance as Monday, March 19, 2012.
·The student attends a Tuesday only class and they attended class on Tuesday, March 20, however; the student was absent on Tuesday, March 27 and Tuesday, April 3 based on the attendance monitoring the student as violated the university attendance policy and the Unofficial Withdrawal Form should be submitted noting the student’s last day of attendance as Tuesday, March 20, 2012.
Faculty roll books should reflect the consecutive missed class periods to determine the last day of physical class attendance.
You can access the Unofficial Withdrawal form on myDU by following the steps below:
Step One: Login into myDU
Step Two: Click on the Faculty Tab
Step Three: Click on Records and Registration on the left side of the page
Step Four: Click on the Unofficial Withdrawal Form
Step Five: Print and complete the form, obtain the appropriate signatures and submit to the Office of Records and Registration as soon as possible. Remember time is of the essence.
As a reminder no student should be attending class without being on the official class roster.
Please share with all adjunct faculty. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
