Students are expected to attend all classes, lectures and field trips. Absences must be accompanied by the appropriate Dean’s or doctor’s excuse to be validated. More than one unexcused absence will result in a lowering of the final grade. Each additional absence will lower the final grade five percentage points. Three lates to class will be equivalent to a missed class. Students will be responsible for all material covered in classes that they have missed. Project schedules will not be shifted and late penalties will be added to work submitted after the listed due date.
