ABSENCES AND PUNCTUALITY
There is no provision for a system of allowed absences. Students are expected to attend all classes and clinical sessions. Students may be dropped from a class for excessive absences (excessive is defined as missing 20% of the classes). This is applicable regardless of the reason for absence and does not exclude students who are dismissed from class/ clinical for unprofessional conduct. Note that being tardy three times equals one absence. Attendance and punctuality are important for the successful pursuit of study. Arriving late and/or leaving early to theory and/or clinical applies to the attendance policy for the course.
