Hello ,
Here is the information of attendance policy which everybody should know and follow.
ATTENDANCE
F-1 students are expected to maintain status, which means following student visa rules, including attendance rules. F-1 students must attend at least 75% of all classes. Class attendance is required in all programs because it is a very important part of the learning process. Students who miss 25% or more of a course will fail the course. F-1 students are allowed a maximum of unexcused 4 absences per semester.
The warning memo will be given to students with 4 unexcused absences or more and/or excessive late arrivals. Once a student receives a warning memo, he/she is expected to attend classes to avoid receiving a Warning Letter from the school.These absences will cause the student being terminated from SEVIS.
Note:
- All students must be on time for scheduled classes. Unless there is a severe weather condition such as a snowstorm.
- 5-30 minutes after class starts ==> LATE
- More than 30 minutes after class starting ==> ABSENT
- 4 Lates ==> 1 Absence
If you have any question or need more information ,please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Rosa
