Our attendance policies exist to help us collectively achieve the mission of BU’s Physical Education program: to positively impact our students’ health, wellbeing, and overall quality of life through inclusive instructional and recreational programs that promote lifelong personal wellness, skill development, and physical activity and fitness in a supportive and nurturing environment.

• Students are committing to consistent and regular attendance so the class can advance as a group.
• First day no-shows and no-contact may be dropped from the class at the instructor’s discretion.
• Students must attend 75% of the total classes, otherwise the student may lose eligibility for next semester. The instructor reserves the right to drop students from the class.
• Options for class make-ups will be given at the discretion of the instructor and are not guaranteed.
