* Note: Marking of non-attendance (N) may also accompany marks for all grading options ('A-E,' 'S/U,' and 'P/NP'). A numeral is given to indicate in which week a student had stopped attending class; for example, 'zero' marks zero attendance to the class, '1' is based on the instructors' records/recollection that the student had stopped attending the first week of classes, and so forth through week 7. For a student who had stopped attending after the 7th week, the instructor is advised to consider entering an 'E,' 'U,' or 'NP' as the Fn/Alt Grade.
