Gonzaga University has a class attendance policy (click here to read it in its entirety). In short, the policy states that the maximum allowable absence is two class hours (100 minutes) for each class credit.

Therefore, a student enrolled in a three credit class could miss up to six class hours (300 minutes). Be aware that the number of absences may vary depending on when your class meets. For example, the maximum absences for a class that meets three times a week for 50 minutes would be six classes, or 300 minutes.The maximum absences for a class that meets twice a week for 75 minutes would be four, or 300 minutes.

Instructors may report excessive absences to the Registrar's Office, which will in turn notify the student.

All absences should be discussed with the professor. Instructors may initiate a more strict absence policy in class and even deduct points for absences. Read your syllabi and talk to your professors so you won't be caught off guard, but your best bet is to go to class!
