ATTENDANCE POLICY
DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Inasmuch as
success in a foreign language course is directly related to
classroom performance, the Department of Foreign Languages
has an established policy which requires every student to
attend class on a regular basis. The policy has been
designed to accommodate reasonable student needs while
maintaining the academic integrity of our courses and
programs.
STUDENTS
SHOULD REMEMBER THAT ANY ABSENCES FROM CLASS MAY ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE CLASS PARTICIPATION / ORAL COMPONENT USED IN
DETERMINING FINAL GRADES.
During
Fall and Spring semesters, the number of absences, either
excused or unexcused, may not exceed:
101
and 102 levels:
8
absences for classes meeting 5 times per week
6
absences for classes meeting 4 times per week
3
absences for classes meeting 2 times per week
201,
202, and 205 levels:
5
absences for classes meeting 3 times per week
3
absences for classes meeting 2 times per week
Students
who exceed these limits before the end of the 8th
week of classes (last day to receive a grade of “W”)
should officially withdraw from the course. The instructor
may choose to initiate the withdrawal process. If the
absence limit is exceed after this date, the students
will receive an “F” as their grade.
STUDENTS
SHOULD REMEMBER THAT IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE
THAT THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THESE ATTENDANCE
REQUIREMENTS.
Instructors ARE NOT REQUIRED to give constant
reminders of attendance status to each student.
