It is the policy of the Undergraduate Department of Film and Television that punctual attendance at all classes is mandatory, with exceptions made only in the case of illness or serious emergency. Students arriving more than ten (10) minutes late for classes will be considered absent for that day. In the event that a student has more than two unexcused absences in a class during a semester, such absences may be reflected in the final course grade for that term. It is within the instructor's discretion to fail a student for missing classes.
The Department reserves the right to drop any student who is not present for the FIRST scheduled meeting of any UGFTV class, and who has not notified the Instructor in writing BY THAT MEETING of his/her intention to be in the class. If there is a waitlist for the class, you will be replaced by the first student from the waitlist. Students are required to contact the instructor or leave a message at the UGFTV front desk - (212) 998-1700. The reason for missing a first class must be of a serious nature to be valid.
