general good order are regarded as sufficient reasons for dismissal.
There are no unexcused absences or cuts. Students are expected to attend all classes.
Any unexcused absences may affect the final grade. Three unexcused absences
may result in course failure at the discretion of the instructor.
Attendance and Religious Beliefs
Pratt Institute recognizes and respects the diversity of its students and their respective
religious obligations and practices. The Institute will therefore make every effort
to afford all individuals appropriate opportunity to fulfill those religious obligations
and practices. With the concurrence of the appropriate deans and academic administrators,
students will have the opportunity to make up examinations that are
missed because of religious obligations and practices.
