ATTENDANCE AND WITHDRAWAL

Article 9
A regular student is required to attend lectures and laboratory sessions. If his/her
attendance is less than the limit determined by the University Council - 75% - of the
lectures and laboratory sessions assigned for each course, the student will be barred from
continuing the course and will be denied entrance to the respective final examination. A
student who is denied entrance to the examination due to absences is considered to have
failed that course and is given the grade DN in the course.

The Rules of Implementation for Article 9
1. A regular student is not permitted to continue a course and take the final
examination, and is given the grade DN in the course if his/her absences (excused
or unexcused absence) are more than the number of hours of the lectures and
laboratory sessions specified for the course, as indicated in Appendix G.
2. A regular student is not permitted to continue a course or take the final
examination if he/she attends less than 66.7 percent of the lectures and laboratory
sessions specified for the course—this applies to both excused and unexcused
absence. He/She will be given the grade W in the course, provided that his/her
unexcused absences do not exceed 25 percent of the lectures and laboratory
sessions specified for the course, with the approval of the College Council. If
his/her unexcused absences exceed 25 percent, rule 1 applies.
3. The procedures for changing a DN grade to a W are as follows:
3.1. The chairperson of the department or the director of the program submits
his/her recommendation to the College Vice Dean to cancel a DN grade, with
subsequent approval by the College Dean.
3.2. A denied student may request a W grade from the College Dean after
explaining the circumstances that led to his/her excessive absences. The College
Council is entitled to make a decision in this matter.

Article 10
The College Council or whatever body it delegates its authority to, may exempt a denied
student from the provisions of attendance and allow him/her to take the examination,
provided that the student presents an acceptable excuse to the council. The University
Council determines the percentage of attendance, which must not be less than 50 percent
of the lectures and laboratory sessions specified for the course.
