Students are strongly encouraged to participate in all live class sessions, whether online or on campus, and are awarded attendance and participation marks each week for doing so. Although attendance at any scheduled live session is expected, students can elect not to attend if they feel that life situations, events, or other reasons make them unable to do so. If a student does not attend a live class session, he/she must submit a makeup assignment to earn participation points and gain attendance. (Examples of make-up assignments can include a short summary/synopsis of the content covered in the live event, or a short quiz pertaining to material covered in the live event).
Non-Attendance Withdrawal Policy
Students who are absent for 28 consecutive calendar days will be withdrawn from their programs of study. Students withdrawn due to lack of attendance may apply for re-entry the following term. Approval for re-entry is based upon a student’s satisfactory academic progress (SAP) in the program and the student’s ability to prove that circumstances leading to withdrawal have been resolved.
