Authorized absence:

Assiduity is required for courses, practical activities, directed activities, laboratory sessions, etc. The student can be absent for valid and justified reasons, to number of periods equal to three teaching weeks (9 hours for a three credit course or 6 hours for a two credit course). Every student who exceeds this limit in a certain course might be given the grade “FW” (Fail to Withdraw) by the concerned teacher, and, subsequently, will not be able to present his/her final exam.

Responsibility:

No absence, even a justified one, releases the student from his/her responsibilities regarding the work required or regarding whatever the teacher may have said during his/her absence.

Prolonged absence:

A student who does not show up to all his/her courses for more than three consecutive weeks will be considered by the administrational level as having resigned; he/she will be given the grade FW (Fail to Withdraw) in all his/her courses and will be consequently excluded from his/her academic program at the end of the semester. However, the student can present a readmission demand to the Faculty/ Institute in order to continue his/her education, starting from the following semester (readmission form presented at the Registrar Office); after that, the Council of the Faculty/ Institute will have to decide whether to accept or refuse this readmission demand.

If the student justifies the exceptional circumstances of his/her absence to all the courses for three consecutive weeks, he/she can apply for an Administrative Withdraw by presenting the appropriate form at the Registrar Office.
