ATTENDANCE, WARNINGS, & BANNING

Regular attendance is a MUST!!! Your medical excuses will not be taken into consideration when presenting the warnings (25% is the limit for warnings).

Medical excuses will be investigated by Mrs. Jawaher Al-Ghanaam only when presenting the banning lists. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you NEVER exceed the 50% absence limit!

I will not hesitate to ban any student exceeding the 50% absence limit. I will not ask any of you to present medical excuses during the banning period. YOU, and only YOU, should be responsible enough to give me these excuses RIGHT AFTER YOU ARE ABSENT EACH TIME.

If you have a medical excuse for being absent, photocopy it, write your name and class group clearly on it, and put it in the "Medical Excuses" file on my desk, in my office. Don't give it to me in class. These official excuses will be verified later by Mrs. Jawaher at the end of this semester.

Attendance will usually be taken 10 minutes after class starts. If you arrive later, come in and attend the rest of the lecture. Being late 3 times will equal to being absent one time.

To make sure that you don’t exceed the 50% absence limit, you can put an X in the attendance chart each time you are absent (or late 3 times) to keep track of your absence. You have this attendance chart in your supplementary booklet.
