<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We use an on-line grading system that utilizes three different submissions: 1. Certification/Census Roster where the faculty submit those who are &#8220;no shows&#8221; and we remove them out of the system BEFORE we process
 federal financial aid, 2. Mid-Term roster where we communicate with students &amp; advisors those grades of D or F at mid-term, and 3. Final Grade where the faculty may submit either an F or AW grade but they must give last date of attendance before they can proceed
 to the next student in their class. This allows financial aid &amp; the VA to have all of their necessary dates.&nbsp; Faculty can WARN/DROP a student in the first 14 weeks of class for attendance issues. Because we are dealing with freshmen &amp; sophomores, we strongly
 encourage faculty to use this system.&nbsp; Our position is that payment of tuition &amp; fees is punitive enough without assigning failing grades to those who have dropped off the face of the earth. Hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
