Class Attendance and Absences

Success in college coursework requires regular attendance and participation by the student enrolled in a course, and all class sessions are enhanced by the presence and participation of the whole course roster. Therefore, while recognizing that extraordinary circumstances can prevent a student from being able to attend a specific class session, all students are expected to attend and arrive on time for all class sessions. Students who are absent from more than 33% of a given course (i.e., students who miss more than 5 classes in a 14-week course or more than 3 classes in a 7-week course) will be given a failing grade (F*) automatically. The Metropolitan School of Professional Studies makes no distinction between “excused” and “unexcused” absences. Instructors teaching in MSPS may include supplemental attendance policies for their courses.
