If you are taking this class under the assumption that you do not need to attend the Math Center except for exams,
this is wrong, and you could be dropped for non-attendance.
If you decide to withdraw from the course, be sure to drop the class on e-Services. Do not expect the Math Center
Director to automatically drop you from the course.
If for some compelling reason you are absent, please inform the Math Center Director. Otherwise, you
could be dropped for non-attendance.
