But whatever the reason you have to come late or leave early from class, it doesn't really matter because as a student you chose your class schedule, and you sign up to be in that class at the assigned time as well as your professor.

However you have to be responsible for the material that you miss during that time and not expect the professor to give you the material you missed.

Now that if you are coming late to class and you know you're gonna be late is good to read or review what's gonna be the lecture about so you're not completely lost when you make it to class. In case you run late for any reason and if attendance can affect your grade, you should talk to your professor about it. I can personally relate to this.

So one of those days I overslept and I didn't make it to class, so once I made to campus I went to the professor office to talk to him. I was honest why I didn't make it, and he said it was alright and I wasn't gonna be punished in the assignment. Sometimes showing that you care about the class and your grade can change the response you get from the professors. And of course sometimes being honest helps you more than making up stories, but sometimes throwing in little lies is not that bad
