The goal of these procedures is to make as many seats as possible in classes available to students and to process any refunds in a consistent manner.

Current Practice:

• A student not attending the first session of a class identified in the Schedule of Classes book as having a first day attendance requirement will have the class dropped from his/her schedule.
• Names and PID's of students to be dropped must be sent within 48 hours of the first class meeting to Registration and Records who will process the drops. (e-mail to njohnso@bgnet.bgsu.edu or fax to 2-7977)
• Fees will be adjusted according to the published official refund schedule. (Refunds will be consistent with the percentage refund available to all students during the first week of class. Refunds during the first week of classes are processed at 90%).
• Departments will add a "class note" record on SIS for classes which will have first day attendance enforced. This information will print beside the class section in the Schedule of Classes booklet.
• The one-page list of classes with mandatory first day attendance will be eliminated from the Schedule of Classes booklet.

Students who do not attend these classes can expect to be dropped automatically. In order for the seats to be made available to other students, the list of students to be dropped must be processed within 48 HOURS after the first class meeting. **Late receipt of the information will cancel the First Day Attendance policy for that particular class for subsequent terms.**

R & R will prepare two sets of class rosters for all classes. The first set will be available the afternoon before classes begin, and the second set will be printed at the end of the second week of classes. Faculty will NOT be expected to return the second class roster. Instead of asking the faculty to record who is not attending or who is not registered, students will receive a confirmed copy of their schedule during the third week of classes with the notation that they are responsible for the accuracy of their schedules.
