Program Policies

Attendance

Attendance is mandatory in all English classes. A student loses one point from his/her attendance grade for every absence. The first five absences are technically free because the total course grade is out of 105.
English teachers take attendance every class period. If a student arrives after the teacher has started the class, the student is considered tardy. In that case, the student should sign-in on a tardy-sheet kept by the door.

Three tardy(s) = one absence.

A student is marked present only if s/he is physically present in class. There are no excused absences in the EPP. Doctor’s notes and/or letter’s from the Deans of different departments are not accepted. Even if a student misses class to take an exam which another department has scheduled during English class time, the students will still be marked absent.
