Attendance

Class Attandance
A student’s official course programme is regarded as a contract with the college. Since full performance requires, in part, a good class attendance, hence, a regular and punctual class attendance is compulsory for all students. A failing grade (F) will be awarded if the attendance falls below 95% (without reason) for a given unit. For medical leave and approved leave, each student is allowed to take leave of not more than 15%.

Leave of absence
The maximum duration for the leave of absence with consent from the college must not exceed two semesters (one year).

Academic Misconduct
