Attendance Policy

Attendance is very important in a language course because skills are developed through daily use.  You are expected to attend every class.  Nevertheless, your first four absences for any reason will not be held against you. 

After your first four absences for any reason, your final average will be lowered by 1% for each additional absence. This excludes absences that are due to religious holidays, illnesses, accidents or exceptional circumstances if you provide documentation (such as a note from your doctor). You will have one week from the day you were absent to submit that documentation.

If you are absent on any day when a test, quiz, composition, or other graded activity is scheduled or due, you must provide documentation (such as a note from your doctor) in order to make up the work. You will have one week from the day you were absent to submit that documentation.

Penalties for late arrivals/early departures are at the discretion of individual instructors, who will announce their policy during the first week of classes.

IMPORTANT REMINDER:  If you have any questions about the attendance policy, it is your responsibility to ask for clarification.

Attendance Policy Example:

A student who has the following absences will lose two (2)  points from his/her final average, because there are two (2) unexcused absences after the first four absences.
