Each class absence must be excused in the first week after the lesson missed. The final grade percentage will be reduced by 10% for every unexcused absence from physical or virtual class or for every missed assignment constituting an asynchronous class).
A grade average of at least 60% must be achieved to pass the course.
Instructors are authorized to refuse credit when the student’s absenteeism rate is around 50% even if the absences have had valid reasons.
