Never Attended Flag

Dear STUDENT FIRST NAME,

According to your instructor's records, you have not yet attended or signed in to your COURSE NAME.

Instructor comments:
INSTRUCTOR COMMENTS--IF NO COMMENTS, THIS SECTION WILL NOT APPEAR

Contact your instructor right away if you plan to continue in this course. 

If there is a reason you cannot attend this course, cancel or withdraw from the course by the deadline (see weber.edu/registration for more information). Failing to cancel or withdraw will result in an unoffical withdraw (UW) which is equivalent to a failing grade. 91¶ÌÊÓƵ does not drop courses for you due to nonpayment or nonattendance.

If you are receiving aid from a program that requires you to maintain a certain number of credit hours (e.g., financial aid, scholarships and/or athletics), check with that office before you cancel or withdraw to make sure it will not affect your eligibility.
