    • Important Class Credit Information! If you have exceeded the absence limit in any class, you must schedule an attendance meeting. This can be done by seeing Ms. Susie Zygmont in the Dean’s Office (Room 168). 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 that every three tardies equals one absence, so if you are habitually tardy, this can quickly bring your absences over the limit. Do not wait, schedule this meeting ASAP if this pertains to you since there are limited appointment times available this semester.
