 identify our students who never attend through our on-line system, and we then cancel them out of classes while reducing their charges to zero, but we do charge a $35.00 processing fee per class we cancel.  I know this was a topic of conversation at our Fall
 Conference as we had a session which discussed this very thing.  If you don’t mind, could you answer the three questions below with a simple yes or no and then I will put the information together for my meeting where we are currently reviewing our process. 
 I am really hoping to modify our process, yet need to see if our policy is consistent, in any way, to what other institutions do within the state.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
