There is a direct correlation between attendance and learning/mastery of accounting subject matter.  Accounting is a 3 credit hour course and meets 3 times per week.

Mid-Semester and Final Course grade will be reduced after calculation by 2% per

excess cuts over the 3 cuts permitted.

Example: 1 week  (3) cuts  =   6% grade reduction          (A-   to  B+)

                   2 week  (6) cuts  = 12% grade reduction        (B+  to  B-)

                   3 week  (9) cyst  = 18% grade reduction        (B-   to  C+)
