Attendance is mandatory in all the classes held during the conduct of a course.
Absence from classes prevents a student from getting full benefit of a course. Accordingly,
absence can result in lower grades due to missed assignments, quizzes, exercises
and examinations. The minimum attendance required for a student to appear for the
main final examination in a course is 75% of the total credit hours.
The SUC acknowledges that individual circumstances may prevent a student from attending
class or classes. It is the University's policy to excuse the absence of students
that result from the following causes: illness of the student, accident, death in
family, participating in University activities, at the request of University authorities
and compelling circumstances beyond the student's control. However, the minimum
attendance required for a student to appear for the final examination falling under
any of this category cannot fall below70% of the total hours allocated to a course
with excused absence.
The student is responsible for all materials covered and announcements made during
his/her absence. Students claiming excused absence must apply in writing and furnish
documentary support of their assertion that absence resulted from one of the above
causes.
Enforcement of the class attendance policy lies with the faculty. However, the decision
of a faculty to withdraw a student from class due to poor attendance must be approved
by the Head - Admin & Exam Department.
- 75% attendance is a must to appear for the main final exam, exceptional cases will
be considered only on approval by the Dean & Registrar.
- Maximum of 5% attendance is taken into consideration on the approved proof which

cancellation status for the particular semester and will have to pay the required
registration fee for the re-activation.
