Attendance Policy: 

Regular attendance is mandatory in an accounting course. If you do miss a class, you should have a classmate take notes for you on any new material covered or any changes to the outline; upon your return to class, you should check with the teacher regarding make-up work. Make-up work will NOT be accepted later than one week upon return. It is emphasized that each chapter -- and each day -- of accounting builds on the previous chapter or day. It is, therefore, imperative that you complete makeup work as timely as possible.
