What class is it? The class must suck then if they're not turning up. Either your class is boring where students find no interest or ....? No offense, but your class is definitely looking to engage a classroom of kids who find no interest, so you have to obtain that interest.
Any links and useful insights and resources would be appreciated:

Ive taught motion and storyboard design at art center in pasadena on and off the past 4 or so years and it seems no different than other classes Ive sat in classes at.
Dont ever let them finish the work they are late on over the course of the semester. If they are late with a project they fail not questions.
3 absences and they fail. They should show up for how much schools cost these days its not that hard.
Dont give them 'real world' projects but crit and grade them like the real world would. Emulating existing client work just gets you a bunch of copies back which does no one any good.
Keep your projects purposefully open ended and abstract to make them think but in a way where they walk away with a piece they can use in their portfolio. No one gives a shit about resumes, the works the currency of success even at a student level.
War stories go the distance. they love hearing about it to understand their options.
Encourage them. Its amazing how many teachers tell kids what they cant do with no real encouragement to think big.
