<p>I didn't drop it before and I see a $10 fee to drop now. Will my GSI automatically drop me from the class if I haven't attended section?</p>
<p>no (10char).</p>
<p>Why do they say they will drop people who don’t show up?</p>
<p>only if there are people trying to get in…i think</p>
<p>To build on Batman’s point: Generally by the end of the second week (which was last Friday), enrollment issues get ironed out. People on the waitlist either get in or remove themselves. At this point in time, people shouldn’t still be trying to get into the class – so even if you don’t attend section now, you’re stuck with it since you’ve already ‘confirmed’ your place by not dropping during the first two weeks (the fact that the first ‘week’ was really only 2 days is apparently lost on the Berkeley administration).</p>
<p>Assuming you will be dropped, as opposed to formally withdrawing, from a class you are registered for but not attending is very risky. You could get your grade report at the end of the semester with the very unpleasant surprise of finding you were kept on the class rolls but having fulfilled none of the requirements for the class be stuck with a grade of F.</p>
<p>^^ which you then cannot get removed from the record.</p>
