Fitness Attendance Update
We’ve been working to expand both the variety of classes and the times they’re offered. However, with this growth, we’ve seen an increase in no-shows, which limits access for others who wish to participate. To ensure fair access and improve attendance, we’re implementing a few changes:
Attendance Policy:
- If you sign up for a class but do not initial the sign-in sheet, it will be considered a no-show.
- After three no-shows in the semester, you will be moved to the waitlist, allowing others to take your spot.
- Please remember to initial the sign-in sheet at every class you attend—this is how we track attendance.
Managing Your Registration:
- If you can’t attend a class, please remove yourself from the registration by clicking the “View Sign Up” button in your original confirmation or reminder email.
- For easier management, consider creating a SignUpGenius account to track and update your registrations.
- Email requests to cancel registrations will no longer be accepted—you are responsible for managing your own sign-ups.
Spring Schedule Release:
To help reduce no-shows, we’re releasing the spring schedule in two phases. The first set of classes runs through mid-March.
