Programme Attendance Requirement

As class participation is an important element of learning in a programme, the University places great emaphasis on the punctuality and attendance of students.  Therefore, students are expected to attend ALL scheduled classes and activities.

The BSocSc(GES) programme sets a minimum attendance requirement of 80%.  The 20% leeway is only to allow for exceptional circumstances such as illness.  In exceptional circumstances where the students need to take a leave of absence, they should inform and seek agreement from the cousre lecturers.  Students who fail to meet the minimum attendance requirement in a course will be given a grade F (Fail) by their couse lecturerss.  The grade F will be recorded on the student's transcirpt.
