Attendance
Classes and Lessons
Regular and prompt attendance in classes and lessons is expected of all students. A statement of individual class attendance policy is provided to each class at the beginning of each semester. It is expected that illness claimed as reasons for absence will be appropriately documented.
All students who are absent from class for an extended period of time, or for a personal or medical emergency, should contact the Office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and ask that their teachers be notified. These notifications do not signify approval but are sent to instructors as a courtesy. The student remains responsible for making up all missed work and for securing the permission of the instructors for absences.
Examinations
Make-up examinations for absences will be given at the discretion of the instructor, and may be subject to fee assessment. A student who misses an examination without an acceptable excuse will receive a failing grade for that examination.
