Class Rosters and Records. A student's enrollment in classes is verified by printout rosters issued by the Associate Dean of Academic Records. No student should be permitted to remain in class unless his/her name appears on the final roster. Students wishing to drop or add courses must complete a Drop - Add Form available in the Student Enrollment Services Office.

The Student Enrollment Services Office issues a class record printout on which the faculty member may keep a record of class attendance and grades. Additional printouts are supplied for entering grades at five weeks, midterm, end of term, and end of the Interterm. These grades are due in the office of Student Enrollment Services as indicated on the academic calendar. After each term, a verification roster will be distributed to check for accuracy of grade input.

Attendance. Regular class attendance is expected of all students. An "early alert" form should be completed when a student persists in being absent from classes. Few absences are necessary; students should clear necessary absences that can be anticipated with the faculty member before the absence occurs. (See "Attendance" under "Academic Program & Policies" in McPherson College Catalog.)

Faculty members should keep class attendance records in order to comply with federal mandates that we document the last date of attendance if a student withdraws. Faculty members may be asked to report attendance data to the Center for Academic Development.

Class Changes. A student may change his or her course schedule only with the permission of the advisor. Such changes cannot be granted after the second week of the term. Upon written request and the presentation of valid reasons for making an exception, the Provost and Dean of the Faculty may approve changes after the two-week period. A drop/add fee will be charged for each enrollment change starting the third week of the term. (See "Course Scheduling/Changes" under "Academic Program & Policies" in McPherson College Catalog.)

Students may withdraw from courses until one week after the deadline for instructors to turn in midterm grades. Students who withdraw from a class before that deadline will receive a notation of "W" on the permanent record in place of a letter grade. (See "Course Scheduling/Changes" under "Academic Program & Policies" in McPherson College Catalog.)
