Important information about attendance requirements:

The LINC Program courses require students to have a minimum of 80% class attendance per month. Students who cannot fulfill this requirement due to personal circumstances (such as illness, parental responsibilities, employment scheduling, traveling, etc.)  will be removed from the course and their names will be included in the waiting list until they are ready to resume attending classes regularly.

The following information will help students understand what the attendance requirements are for each LINC course:

We have three types of course schedules (for the purpose of these calculations we will consider each month as a 4-week period):

• Courses offering 2 class days per week or 8 class days per month.
  To meet the 80% class attendance requirement students in these courses can only be absent 1 class day per month.
• Course offering 3 class days per week or 12 class days per month.
  To meet the 80% class attendance requirement students in these courses can only be absent 2 class days per month.
• Course offering 5 class days per week or 20 class days per month.
  To meet the 80% class attendance requirement students in these courses can only be absent 4 class days per month.

Students must plan their personal activities in a way that does not compromise their class attendance (in person or online), by booking appointments at times/days that do not interfere with their class schedule.
