F.A.Q. o Will I not get A.O. credit if I miss a single day? o Just like Advisor, students will need to meet a specific Participation Percentage o For that attendance requirement is 80% o What if all my work is already done? o Then A.O. time is an opportunity for students to read a book, the newspaper, help a fellow student with homework o How is A.O. Different from having advisor every day?  A.O. is fairly open worktime, as opposed to advisor which is more structured.
