| Student Attendance Policy |
Introduction
Students are responsible to achieve all academic objectives as defined by the instructor. Attendance will be counted from the first lecture of the course. In general, acceptable reasons for absence from class include illness, serious family emergencies, special curricular requirements (e.g., judging trips, field trips, professional conferences), military obligation, severe weather conditions and religious holidays. Absences from class for court-imposed legal obligations (e.g., jury duty or subpoena) must be excused. Other sound reasons may be offered.
Information, Policies and Procedures Related to Student Attendance:
- Students may not attend classes unless they are registered officially.
- Students who do not attend at least one lecture in the first two weeks of a course in which they are registered, and who have not contacted the Coordinator to indicate their intent, may be barred from the course. The Coordinator will notify student barred from the course by posting a notice in the department office. Students may request reinstatement on a space-available basis if documented evidence is presented.
- Students must not assume that they will be dropped if they fail to attend the first few days of class.
- The Academy recognizes the right of the individual instructors to make attendance mandatory. After due warning, instructors may prohibit further attendance and subsequently assign a failing grade for excessive absences.
- Student must attend all formal assessments at the time given, including viva and examinations. Failure to attend an assessment or submit coursework by the deadline without having obtained an extension or deferral may result in failure in the particular module.
- The Academy policy regarding observance of religious holidays:
- Students, upon prior notification of their instructors, shall be excused from class or other scheduled academic activity to observe a religious holy day of their faith.
- Students shall be permitted a reasonable amount of time to make up the material or activities covered in their absence.
- Students shall not be penalized due to absence from class or other scheduled academic activity because of religious observances.
- If a faculty member is informed of or is aware that a significant number of students are likely to be absent from his or her classroom because of a religious observance, a major exam or other academic event should not be scheduled at that time.
- Further, a student who is to be excused from class for a religious holy day is not required to provide a document of the reasons for the absence. Finally, a student who believes that he or she has been unreasonably denied an education benefit due to religious beliefs or practices may seek redress through the student grievance procedure.
- If student wishes to disrupt studies at the Academy or withdraw from programme, s/he must follow the Academy's withdrawal/interruption of study formal process.
- Students who are absent from classes or examinations because of illness should contact their instructors. The student should contact by the deadline to withdraw a course for medical reasons (see Course Extensions Policy)
