Never Attended Flag
 

Subject Line: You have not yet attended COURSE NAME. Action Required!

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. WSU 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.
