Notes:
Attendance

Students will get the first warning letter if his/her absence reaches 10% without any valid excuses, second warning letter will be issued for 20%. If the absence reaches
30%, a Debar Letter will be issued.

A student will be considered as LATE when s/he arrives after 10 minutes of the class start time. Being LATE for THREE times in a class will be considered as ONE
class absence.

If a student failed to take any exam (quiz, midterm exam, etc.) with a valid reason, s/he has to submit the supporting documents WITHIN ONE WEEK from the date of
examination which s/he failed to attend. (Headache, nausea, common cold, common cough, punctured tires, unaware of schedule, etc. will not be considered as valid
reasons unless the case is considered as chronic.)

Course Withdrawal

A student is allowed to withdraw one course during the semester. The withdrawal period will end a week after the midterm result has been announced.

Late Submission of Assignment/Project

Late submission of the assignment/project will lead to 10% mark deduction per day from the total mark of the assignment/project. Thursdays and Fridays are
counted .

Cheating

In case an accusation of cheating during a quiz or any examination is proven, the following will be imposed: Disciplinary Action for Cheating Case/s:

Ø First Offense- Zero Mark

Ø Second Offense- Dismissal from the College

· Presenting a work, done in collaboration with others, as independent work
· Using one’s own work presented previously
Disciplinary Action for Student Plagiarism
