At ITP \/ IMA \/ NYU, regular class attendance is an important component of academic success. For this reason, we ask for all instructors and students in our department to please abide by the following class attendance guidelines for each program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students are permitted the following number of absences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unit<\/strong><\/td>No of Classes<\/strong><\/td>Absences Allowed<\/strong> = X<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Undergraduate<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
4 unit<\/td>14-week classes that meet twice a week<\/td>3 absences<\/td><\/tr>
4 unit<\/td>14-week classes that meet once a week<\/td>2 absences<\/td><\/tr>
2 unit<\/td>7-week classes that meet twice a week<\/td>2 absences<\/td><\/tr>
2 unit<\/td>7-week classes that meet once a week<\/td>1 absence<\/td><\/tr>
1 unit<\/td><\/td>0 absences<\/td><\/tr>
Graduate<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
4 unit<\/td>14-week classes that meet once a week<\/td>2 absences<\/td><\/tr>
2 unit<\/td>7-week classes that meet once a week<\/td>1 absence<\/td><\/tr>
1 unit<\/td><\/td>0 absences<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are no excused absences or unexcused absences. There are only absences. Any more than [X]<\/strong> number of absences will affect your grade. Two late arrivals (more than 10 minutes after start time) will count as 1 absence. Any classes you miss due to not being enrolled during the drop\/add period are not counted as absences.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is reasonable to expect students to notify you if they will not be participating in classes due to illness, but you should not ask students to divulge their private health-related information.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a student needs to miss more than one week of class, or has had repeated short-term absences, you should\u00a0raise an \u201cExcessive Absences\u201d flag<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0NYU Connect<\/strong><\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0When you raise this flag, you will have the opportunity to provide comments that will support meaningful student outreach. These comments will not be shared with the student, just with those individuals in the student\u2019s home school who can support them. (Faculty teaching Stern graduate courses should contact the academic advising team directly.) The goal of this action is to ensure that there is a coordinated effort to enable the student\u2019s academic progress in all of their courses. We also remind you that, if you become aware of a mental-health issue, you should call the\u00a0Wellness Exchange<\/a>\u00a0at 212-443-9999 or email them at\u00a0wellness.exchange@nyu.edu<\/a>. You can also raise a flag in NYU Connect, but this will be received by the student\u2019s advisor first. If there is a known time sensitivity, please alert the mental health professionals directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjustments to the above policy are made by individual faculty members <\/strong>based on the nature of the class, the meeting pattern, and length of the class.\u00a0 The final policy for each class may be found on the syllabus for that class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FYI – this policy also lives on the general student-facing Help site here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
