Attendance Policy

NYIE will accurately report to the NYS Education Department the number of class hours attended.  If insufficient, the state will not permit the applicant to take the State Licensing Examination.  Class attendance is an important aspect of the student’s learning experience.  The student is required to attend all classes.  If the student is unable to attend a class, or classes, due to unforeseen circumstances, the following policies apply:

- Being late to class constitutes tardiness; three tardy reports will result in one absence, the equivalent of 4.5 hours of missing class time, which must be made up.

- Students with more than 13.5 hours of outstanding missing time will be placed on academic probation until all time is made up.  Students failing to make up time while on probation are subject to termination.

- Any student missing more than 15% of any course will be given an “F” for the course.

- All missing class time, midterms, and final exams must be made up prior to the end of the quarter.

Any student absent for more than five- (5) days without notification or medical excuse will be automatically dismissed from the program.  Absences will be calculated from the student’s last date of attendance.
