Attendance Policy

Students are required to check their course syllabus and must follow the attendance policy stated therein to avoid penalty that could include failing or being dropped from the class.

Attending class is vital to academic success. Accordingly, Manhattanville University expects attendance and punctuality at all classes. Students are expected to accept personal responsibility for any absences, and will be held responsible for all course content, requirements, and assignments, whether or not they are present in class. Individual instructors may establish course attendance policies, including penalties for absences and lateness. The responsibility for explaining and/or documenting individual absences rests with the student, who must understand that instructors are not obligated to grant requests for make-up or supplementary work.
