Classroom basics
Attendance in our program is mandatory.
Students are expected to attend all classes and be on time. Each hour a student is absent from class counts as 1 absence. Being late also counts as missing one (1) hour.
Disciplinary action will be taken if a student reaches 15 absences during the session.
The ELC reserves the right to refuse admission to applicants who do not adhere to the attendance policy.
As part of our hybrid model, it is mandatory that students have an internet-connected computer that has a webcam, a microphone, and headphones/speaker. During class, students must have their camera and microphone turned on. We need to hear and see you, and you need to hear and see us.
Students living in Canada must attend our two in-person days each week.
Do not be late to class. Being late counts as missing one hour of class time.
