3. What if I know in advance that I will miss a class?
Because most of our students are busy adults, it’s not unusual for students to miss one or two meetings of a course. Notify lifelong@utah.edu if you can, but you don’t need to. Please connect with the instructor during your next class to make sure you receive any handouts or pertinent information you may have missed. Your fee will NOT be prorated for missed classes.
