Re: New University Policy Regarding Class Participation
NEW POLICY
I am pleased to announce that Colorado Technical University is implementing a new policy on class participation and attendance effective February 8, 2006 (the start of the 0601B session). Complete details of this new policy will be sent to all students in the near future.
There are several changes I want to bring to everyone's attention a little early as it will impact your continuing enrollment in the university. The most important changes are:

ALL students will now be required to attend class DURING THE FIRST WEEK (first seven days) of the session or you will be withdrawn from the university.

This is a positive change that will encourage everyone to get started in class early. I'm sure all of you know that the quicker you get started on assignments and coursework, the easier it will be to get involved in class activities and have a greater understanding of the course content.

AFTER THE FIRST WEEK of classes (7 days), if you do not participate at least once every 15 days you will be withdrawn from the university.

I know no one wants this to occur since it will only delay your graduation date. Everyone wants to graduate on time! So with this new policy it will be important to continue participating in class on a regular basis.
My suggestion for this coming January session is that everyone begin practicing this new attendance policy and attend class during the January 1 to January 7 week!
Please remember that for the February session though EVERYONE will need to be in class the first week of school.

Thanks everyone and I certainly want to wish you all Happy Holidays!
