Clark expects students to attend classes regularly
and to prepare for classes conscientiously.
Specific attendance requirements may vary from

given class must be provided to students in a
syllabus or other written document at the start of
the semester. Sanctions (e.g., required withdrawal
from the course, grade adjustment, and/or a
failing grade) will be imposed for poor
attendance.
