Important Credit Information! If you have exceeded the absence limit, you must schedule an attendance meeting with the help of Susan Zygmont in room 168 (or by calling her at 362-1722). Failure to schedule an attendance meeting will result in a loss of credit for the classes in which you have more than 9 absences (note: every three tardies equal one absence). Do not wait, schedule this meeting asap if this pertains to you since there are limited appointment times available this year.
