If a student misses any class sessions, their grade may be affected. Students are required to attend at least 75% of class sessions (for example, 11 semester class sessions out of 14).  Students participating in a course with an intensive may not pass the course if they miss more than one day of the intensive.

At the discretion of the institution, lack of participation during the first two weeks of a course may result in the course registration being dropped. This may affect the student's financial aid award.

Multiple instances of course registrations being dropped for non-participation may result in an unofficial withdrawal of the student from Bethel. 

Students are expected to attend both Chapel and Community Life Gatherings when they are on campus for classes.
