ATTENDANCE/TARDINESS
All students are expected to attend regularly. Absences from class can seriously affect the progress of training. An absence may only be excused by the faculty. Students who are absent will still be required to complete the assigned class work.

Attendance for Undergraduate and Graduate Courses Attendance and punctuality are important for the successful pursuit of study. Therefore, the number of a student’s absences may be taken into account in determining academic grades. Students may be expected to explain to the instructor the reason for any absences from class and, in some cases, be asked to provide appropriate documentation.

There is no provision for a system of allowed cuts and absences. Students may be dropped from a class for excessive absences (excessive is defined as missing 20% of the classes) when, in the opinion of the faculty, further enrollment in the class would be of little value to the students.
