Attendance

You must attend your classes to be eligible for financial aid. Attendance is confirmed during the first week of classes each semester, so it is important that you attend all your classes. The WN (Never attended) Grade will be assigned if your attendance is not confirmed. Financial Aid will not pay for classes with WN Grades.
