If a class session is missed, participants have two responsibilities. One is to notify the program leaders before the session, if possible, or the next day after the session if prior notification was not possible. The second responsibility is to contact the program leaders to create a make up activity for the session missed. In regard to grading, completion of an approved activity will make up for a missed class or assignment.
