Starting university 5 days late?

Question

I might be 5 days late for university because I am currently overseas and classes start on the 25th of August and I might be able to make it on the 30th. Is this really bad? Will I miss out on too much? Will I be able to catch up? I'm really worried.

Don't know if this helps but I will be going to Arizona State University.

Answer 1

You will be able to catch up, but make sure that the school knows that you will be late. Make sure admissions knows, and the housing office, and the registrar, and if you know who your professors are, make sure they know as well. I don't want you to be dropped from housing or from classes because you are late. If you let them know you are coming, but will be late, then it won't be an issue.

However, in some classes, your attendance and participation in class is part of your grade. Make sure that you don't miss any classes from this point forward, and you will be fine.
