If you fail to report an absence in advance, the class cannot be made up. Makeup Class Deadline: Make-up classes should be completed by the end of the semester in which the absence occurs. No makeup classes will be allowed after your registration ends. Refer to your registration form or payment receipt to find the last registered day.
